“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 2010 Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation raised and distributed over $4,700,000 to deserving kids cancer charities across Canada; an increase of over 40% from 2009! We just couldn't have done this without you, our amazing sponsors, donors, volunteers, and participants. As in previous years, this $4,700,000 represents 100% of all receiptable donations raised. In other words, every single (receiptable) dollar raised by our donors has been distributed to the charities and programs we support.
