One of the largest comprehensive cancer centres in North America is coming to life in Calgary this very second. Concrete walls rising to the big prairie sky will shelter 1.3 million square feet of world-leading cancer care, research and education.
The Alberta Cancer Foundation, the University of Calgary, and Alberta Health Services are partnering together with one mission — to raise $250 million in support of improved cancer research, treatment and care at the new Calgary Cancer Centre when it opens its doors in 2024.
We’re asking all Albertans to join us in this once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform cancer care and treatment.
Supporters
Big dreams need support. We’re raising $250 million to accelerate research innovations and provide world-leading cancer care and treatment. Thanks to the Calgary Cancer Centre, and your support, cancer stops here.
