The Alberta Cancer Foundation
The Alberta Cancer Foundation is more than a charity. It's a movement for cancer-free lives today, tomorrow and forever. It's a movement of those who know a cancer-free future is possible and who won’t settle for “some day.” It's a movement of those who stand with Albertans who have no choice but to stand up to cancer. It's a movement of those who know something can be done and are willing to do it. For those facing cancer today, in honour of those lost to cancer, and for generations to come, we promise progress.
Mission

Why donate to the Alberta Cancer Foundation?
Your dollar stays in Alberta to support Albertans: The Alberta Cancer Foundation is the only charity responsible for raising funds to support Alberta's coordinated cancer research strategy. And we're the only charity responsible for supporting care at the Cross Cancer Institute, Tom Baker Cancer Centre and Alberta's 15 associate and community cancer centres.
Your dollar fights all cancers--or the one that concerns you most. The Alberta Cancer Foundation funds a collaborative, comprehensive program that ultimately improves prevention and treatment for all cancers. Some Alberta Cancer Foundation fundraisers support specific cancer types, however, and donors may target a particular cancer with their gift. Knowledge gained about a particular cancer can often be meaningful for other cancers. Panels of local and international cancer experts advise the Alberta Cancer Foundation on where donations should be invested to have the greatest impact.
Your dollar fights cancer on every front: research, prevention, screening, early diagnosis, education, treatment and care.
