At the Canadian Cancer Society, our vision is to champion world leading outcomes in cancer prevention, treatment and support.

We are a national, community-based organization of staff and volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer.

We set ourselves apart from other cancer charities by taking a comprehensive approach against cancer. We are also the only national charity that supports all Canadians living with cancers across the country.

When you support the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS), you’re doing more than simply making a donation. You’re helping the nearly half of Canadians who are expected to hear the words “you have cancer”in their lifetime.

Your donation will be put to work immediately — we need your help to change the future of cancer forever.

Please read on as you consider ways to give.
