Legacy Giving
A Legacy that Offers Hope for Years to Come
We see the results of gifts in wills to the Alberta Cancer Foundation every day. More people are surviving after a cancer diagnosis. More people are returning to their families, their communities, their lives. More people are being given more moments.
A gift in your will has the power to change the landscape of cancer care in our province. Here at home, we have the brightest minds in cancer care and research, and we can leverage today’s breakthroughs and propel them forward – bringing the world’s best cancer innovation, treatment, research and patient support programs to our doorstep for the next generation of Albertans.
That’s the lasting impact you can have on Alberta’s future, when you leave a gift in your will to the Alberta Cancer Foundation.
