Cancer doesn’t care where you live, how old you are or what your background is. But, at the Alberta Cancer Foundation, we do and so do our incredible community of donors. We believe everyone deserves access to the best possible treatment and care, close to home. Thankfully, Alberta is home to some of the best and the brightest when it comes to cancer care and research. Empowered with support from donors like you, these individuals and teams continue to blaze the trail for innovation in detection, treatment and care. That’s where the theme of our 2023 report to our community comes from. Brilliance in Our Backyard. After all, it’s easy to think world-class cancer research and innovation only happens in far bigger cities with far bigger populations and far bigger facilities. But, we know it is happening right here in our own backyard thanks to donors like you.

However you contributed to us this year—a onetime gift, a monthly donation, as a rider in the Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer, with a ticket for the Cash and Cars Lottery, or a legacy gift—we hope you see the impact you have made in each of these stories. Every dollar, every event, and every moment has had an impact on the thousands of Albertans who faced cancer this year. Because of you, we continue to make great strides in innovation while providing patients with enhanced comforts every day, province-wide.

Thank you for helping to ensure we can provide the very best care, close to home so that every cancer patient can focus on what matters most: healing.
