A huge thank you goes out to all those who gave their time to make this video and the OWN.CANCER story come to life:

Our Volunteers

Many of the people you see in this video are Albertans who have faced, or are currently facing cancer, as well as staff and friends and family. We are grateful for their time, vulnerability and generosity.

Daughter Creative

Our agency, based in Calgary, came up with a strong, compelling, emotional brand promise that would live within every single aspect of the campaign, would compel people to give, raise awareness about this new centre and build pride for Calgary, and Alberta. They drew on the Alberta spirit—gritty, determined, brave, confident—to take on this disease and reached out to their community of experts to help us tell this this story in a bold way.
