Fundraising events make things happen
We are so grateful to live in a can-do province like Alberta. Every day at Kids Cancer Care, we see people, families, companies, schools, sports teams and other community groups raise funds to help children and families affected by cancer. That’s because Albertans understand that, together, we can do more for kids. You can do pretty much anything to fundraise and we’ll be there to support you every step of the way!

What our families are saying
Before cancer, I was reserved and timid, but now look at me! Look at what I have been through and what I know I can do. Kids Cancer Care is helping to shape the person I am today.

What our families are saying
Kids Cancer Care has given us another family, one who understands what we are going through, a support system for when we are tired. And it gives us a chance to give back too.

What our families are saying
Cancer is scary. It changes the way you look at the world and how you feel about yourself. By being with other kids like me, I felt a new normal and I feel like I have a place in this world again.
