Your donation today will help send children with cancer to camp, a magical place that ignites imaginations, encourages active play and movement, and skill building.
Our 2023-24 Annual Report demonstrates how YOUR support has helped shape a generation of young leaders. Together we are creating our a better world for kids affected by cancer.
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.

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.
