Donations
Every year, Bristol-Myers Squibb Canada donates more than $1 million in in-kind and monetary gifts to Canadian charitable organizations.
Our objective is to support registered Canadian charities that make a positive difference to the health and lives of Canadians and are closely aligned with BMS Canada's defined charitable focus.
