BCICA's Annual Golf Tournament
Friday May 23, 2025

In 2007, the BCICA Annual Golf Tournament was developed in partnership with BC Cancer and Andre and Judy Pachon at C&G Insulation as a fundraiser for mesothelioma research and screening in British Columbia. Funds from the BCICA Annual Golf Tournament have supported the groundbreaking work of Dr Stephen Lam, Dr Renelle Myers, and their colleagues at BC Cancer to support research in the early detection of mesothelioma and lung cancer using a novel breath test. 

Over the years, funds from the tournament have been used to purchase innovative technologies, including a sophisticated piece of equipment to analyze volatile organic compounds from lung specimens to identify chemicals in exhaled breath that are unique to the lung. BC Cancer has also established a pilot LDCT and breath screening study for people who have never smoked but are at risk for lung cancer, such as those with heavy exposure to asbestos or radon, or those with a family history of cancer.

To date, BCICA is proud to have raised over $700,000 for the Western Canada Mesothelioma Fund at BC Cancer thanks to members’ and partners’ continued support and participation. Thank you to all the sponsors, golfers, and volunteers for the growth and success of the tournament!
