 Team Purple’s Charity Fundraiser for Cancer Research is just a day away, and we thought this was a great time to share some information about the cause we’re supporting, and why this research is so vital to so many Canadians.
Every day, 27 Canadians are diagnosed with brain cancer. In 2017, 3000 Canadians were diagnosed with brain and spinal cord cancer, and 2400 Canadians died from brain and spinal cord cancer. Depending on the type of tumour, brain cancer can have a survival rate of less than 10%. Current treatment for generally includes surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, often used in conjunction with each other. Due to the nature of brain cancer and it’s location within the body, these treatment methods can be risky and sometimes leave the patient with long term side effects. Additionally, brain cancer is a disease that has personally affected the friends and family of Team Purple, and we understand how devastating its impact can be. It's a cause close to home, and we want to do as much as we can to help. That’s why it’s so imperative to continue funding research to help develop safer and more effective ways of treatment, as well as to learn more about this type of cancer to assist in earlier detection of the tumours. Calgary’s Best appreciates every bit of your support in helping us raise money for the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada. You can help us out by directly donating through our GoFundMe linked here, or by sharing our posts to help spread the word. We’ll be hosting an event on June 21st, at 7:00 at Hudson’s Shawnessy and would love for you to come out and join us! Additionally our GoFundMe campaign will run for an additional 2 weeks.

What Our Clients Are Saying...
We are so thrilled with our vinyl deck! It looks amazing 3 years later and we literally haven't had to do anything to maintain it looking great. Thanks so much for helping us make a selection that we absolutely love and for being perfectionists in your work." ~ Mark F.
"Wow! What else can we say? We absolutely love our vinyl deck and the new glass railings! We spend as much time as we can outside and now we have the outdoor dining/living space we dreamed of. No maintenance, no staining, no nothing. Just awesome. Thanks so much!" ~ Sarah J.
"Highly recommended contractor for vinyl decking , vinyl membranes and handrails. Professional team namely Roger and Landon. A contractor who puts client satisfaction first is ,without any doubt, a successful contractor and will have a sustainable business for sure. This is what Calgary Best Decks demonstrated on my vinyl deck and handrail project at my house. The guys even upgraded my vinyl membrane to the premium quality membrane at no additional cost to me just because they believed it’s better from construct-ability point of view." ~ Raed S.
"These guys were such a delight to work with. From the quote, to the completion, they were great! Excellent communication and we ended up with exactly what we wanted. I wasn't sure about having our deck done in the winter, but it worked out great. The weather even cooperated! It turns out they work all winter here in Kelowna. We had vinyl deck installed, topless glass railings and an outdoor kitchen. They had it done very quickly and we're so excited that our deck is ready for when spring hits! I highly recommend Calgary's Best and their purple team!" ~ Chloe S
