The Shoot for the Cure campaign has proven an overwhelming success since it was launched in the fall of 2007 with over $760,000 in donations. This season, for the fourth year in a row, all 47 CIS women's basketball schools are set to participate in the program.

At the 2014 CIS championship in Windsor last March, the WBCA presented a cheque for $112,898.03 to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, while an additional $25,462.55 was amassed by universities that elected to donate their fundraising money to local or provincial organizations. The overall Shoot for the Cure total of $138,360.58 in 2013-14 made it the most successful edition to date.

Overall donations since 2007 now stand at $761,309.12, including $633,303.89 to CBCF.
