The Ford Pins to Win program supports Ontario minor hockey and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Ontario minor hockey team and associations are able to sell mini pink hockey stick pins for $5, with $2 going to support participating teams, and remaining proceeds donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

Each pin purchase comes with a unique PIN code that can be entered for a chance to win great prizes.

By wearing a pin you are supporting Ontario minor hockey teams and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation to support breast cancer research, community health projects, and other programs that will make a difference in the lives of people touched by breast cancer.

In 2009, an estimated 5,300 women and 50 men will die from breast cancer in Canada. Since the mid-1980s, there has been a significant improvement in breast cancer survival rates due to improvements in screening and treatment. At present, people diagnosed with breast cancer will have an 87% likelihood of living for five years after their diagnosis. Participating in Ford Pins to Win is a way to help make sure these improvements continue.

The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1986 as the first organization in the country dedicated exclusively to the funding of breast cancer research and education initiatives. We continue to blaze new trails in breast cancer and breast health by directing donor dollars to world-class researchers who are contributing to groundbreaking progress in breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care; and to community organizations for unique local initiatives with impact.

In the past five years, we have directed more than $50 million to the cause in Ontario alone as a result of fundraising initiatives like our signature event, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure, and the efforts of a committed volunteer network numbering in the thousands.
