Ready for a change and want to make a difference for kids living with cancer? 

More than 10,000 children living in Canada are battling cancer right now. These children and their families need our support. 

Established in October 1987, Childhood Cancer Canada is the leading national foundation dedicated to funding pediatric oncology research, while delivering support and programing for families affected by childhood In Canada, six children are diagnosed with cancer each day. 


When a child is diagnosed with cancer, the entire family is affected. Our efforts toward more positive outcomes for children, adolescents, and young adults fighting cancer in Canada are carried out by our family programs including Survivor Scholarships, EmPower Packs, Emergency and Benevolent Funds.
