The Fondation J. Armand Bombardier, the Fondation Mirella et Lino Saputo, the R. Howard Webster Foundation, the Morris and Rosalind Goodman Family Foundation and The Molson Foundation are also part of the group.

Clinical research is a core priority of Leucan’s. Since its foundation, Leucan has invested massively in research to make sure that children receive the best treatments available, as well as to increase their chance of recovery and limit side effects and risks of sequelae. Although the number of survivors grows, many of them will struggle with extensive sequelae and long-term effects.
