About the Alberta Cancer Foundation
Creating more moments for Albertans facing cancer by inspiring our community to give to innovation in detection, treatment and care.
Albertans helping Albertans is at the core of everything the Alberta Cancer Foundation does. As the official fundraising partner for every Alberta Health Services cancer centre in Alberta, our very purpose comes from our desire to create more moments for all Albertans facing cancer, no matter where they live or the type of cancer they are facing. From the mountains in Canmore to the canola fields in Lloydminster, we make life better for Albertans facing cancer by supporting world-class research and patient care, close to home.

From time to time, an individual and/or their family may permit a cancer story to be shared publicly that reveals some medical or personal information about the patient’s cancer journey. In this case, formalized authorization documents are completed before releasing any of this information to the public in order to protect the patient’s privacy.
