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.

The Arthur J.E. Child Foundation makes remarkable $50 million donation to the Calgary Cancer Centre, officially naming the building the Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre.

We are thrilled to announce a historic and transformational $50 million donation to OWN.CANCER from the Arthur J.E. Child Foundation. With this donation, the cancer centre will officially be named the Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre. Or, “The Arthur Child” for short.

This is the largest gift to cancer care and research in Alberta’s history.

This $50 million gift – and every gift to the OWN.CANCER campaign – will accelerate research innovations and providing world-leading cancer care to individuals in Calgary, Alberta, and beyond when the centre opens its doors in 2024.

You too can help us OWN.CANCER.
