The Canadian Cancer Society works tirelessly to save and improve lives. We raise funds to fuel the brightest minds in cancer research. We provide a compassionate support system for all those affected by cancer, across Canada and for all types of cancer. Together with patients, supporters, donors and volunteers, we work to create a healthier future for everyone. Because to take on cancer, it takes all of us. It takes a society.  

During the holiday season, we all enjoy spending time with those we love. For people living with cancer, even the smallest moments can be a gift. 

Help create more of those precious moments by donating to fund life-saving cancer research and compassionate support services.

What we do

At CCS, our mission is to unite and inspire Canadians to take control of cancer.   

As the largest national charitable funder of cancer research, we fund high performance research that improves cancer outcomes and addresses the greatest opportunities for progress. We lead change in the most pressing areas of cancer policy including prevention, access, affordability and support. And we provide trusted information on more than 100 cancer types for all Canadians, promote cancer prevention and provide compassionate support to help people with cancer, their families and caregivers cope.
