Join us for the MANE EVENT on Thursday, September 18 at 12 PM at the CORE Shopping Centre. You’re not only raising vital funds, but also showing moral support for kids affected by cancer.
FREE! Join us on Saturday, September 13, 10:00 AM at Central Library for a morning of storytime, crafts, snacks & fun with your whole family. Get a free copy of Share Your Spark & meet the author.
Join a community dedicated to helping kids with cancer. Your ongoing support funds programs that guide families through diagnosis, treatment, and beyond. Even a small monthly gift makes a big difference.
Our hospital programs help Alberta children receive the care they need right here in Alberta, so families don’t need to leave the province and their support system when they need it most.
Together, we are helping young people and families survive and thrive in body, mind and spirit.

What our families are saying
Before cancer, I was reserved and timid, but now look at me! Look at what I have been through and what I know I can do. Kids Cancer Care is helping to shape the person I am today.

What our families are saying
Kids Cancer Care has given us another family, one who understands what we are going through, a support system for when we are tired. And it gives us a chance to give back too.

What our families are saying
Cancer is scary. It changes the way you look at the world and how you feel about yourself. By being with other kids like me, I felt a new normal and I feel like I have a place in this world again.
