“When you called to talk about your donation for this year I couldn’t believe it. It was the greatest Christmas Present Camp Trillium has ever received...I hope your donors understand the impact of Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation’s work. By taking the approach that you need to support children living with cancer from diagnosis, through treatment and onto survival, you are doing an incredible thing. You are saying to those children we are here for you every step of the way. No one organization has ever done that.”
Marci Shea-Perry,
Executive Director

In 2011, Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation ('CTCACF') celebrated a truly amazing year, raising and distributing over $5,000,000 for deserving childhood cancer charities across Canada! We just couldn't have done this without you, our amazing sponsors, donors, volunteers, and participants.
Together this year, we have visited hundreds of communities across the country, engaged over 15,000 participants in our events, worked with hundreds of volunteers and processed over 75,000 individual donations. Together, we have collected millions of dollars for childhood cancer and distributed 100% of every single donation we raised to the cancer charities we support across Canada. Together, we have made a meaningful difference in the lives of thousands of children and their families living with and beyond cancer.
