The Alberta Cancer Foundation

The Alberta Cancer Foundation (ACF) strives to make Alberta the leader in cancer prevention and care. The ACF brings together donors, patients, health care providers, and researchers together to invest in a cancer free future. Investments are aimed towards initiatives and programs that will lead to research and programs that have a clear impact for patients, earlier cancer detection, and improved treatments and an enhanced quality of life.

Get Involved

You can support the ACF by becoming involved in one of the many events run across Alberta. Below is a short list of events in Edmonton and Calgary. Click here to view a full list of events that support the ACF.

Albertans Helping Albertans Virtual 5K

The Albertans Helping Albertans Virtual 5K is a fun and safe way to practice social distancing while supporting fellow Albertans facing cancer. Whether you are an avid runner whose previous events with the Foundation have been postponed or cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, a beginner debuting your running career, or an Albertan wanting to walk to make a positive difference in your community, this event is suitable for all ages. You can participate by running on a treadmill or on your favourite path while practicing social distancing! Learn more here.
