Alberta Cancer Foundation

A forward-thinking approach to cancer research

Share This Article

Every day in Alberta, 43 people hear the words “you have cancer.” The Alberta Cancer Foundation and our donors want to change that. Together, we are focusing our efforts on the things that matter most to Albertans – faster diagnoses, better treatments and improved quality of life.

The Alberta Cancer Foundation is proudly Albertan. As the fundraising partner for the 17 cancer centres across the province, including the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary and the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton, the Alberta Cancer Foundation invests in key research and programs benefiting all Albertans facing cancer and their families.

We are making bold new paths forward. With this direction also comes a new look for the Alberta Cancer Foundation. This new brand is bold and optimistic, representing the future for cancer patients and their families. The cells in the arrow signify the many partners who collaborate – patients, families, researchers, health providers, donors and the Alberta Cancer Foundation – to deliver powerful progress for Albertans. Together, we are redefining the future of cancer research, treatment, prevention and care in Alberta.

Our new brand complements the story we tell about the groundbreaking work Alberta’s cancer researchers are able to do – thanks to strategic investments made through the generous support of Alberta Cancer Foundation’s donors. This story includes the patients and families who have already travelled the same road that more than 16,000 Albertans have faced this year. Our story and brand are also about the people in communities across Alberta who ride, run, walk and bust-a-move to raise money in support of cancer research.

Through the support of Albertans, we will continue to offer new promise and progress for the 43 Albertans today and the 16,000 Albertans who will face this disease next year.

Together – we can redefine the future for Albertans facing cancer.
