Where Your Donations Go
Donation Report
In 2012, 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.

In 2013 we will continue our commitment to the Canadian childhood cancer community by continuing our efforts to raise needed funds for essential pediatric oncology programs and initiatives. To that end we will be looking to improve, increase and expand our existing events such as the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride and Tour for Kids Atlantic, increase our footprint in Quebec through partnerships with new and existing sponsors and local charities, introduce exciting new events such as KM for Kids, and enhance our support and commitment to 3rd party events which continue to grow and make important contributions to helping achieve our goal to reach a “destination beyond cancer.”
Our Volunteers and Sponsors make it possible for us to achieve our 100% donation distribution model. 2013 will see a renewed effort to improve both our volunteer and sponsor programs to ensure that we can continue to operate as efficiently and effectively as possible. Expanding our sponsorship base, especially at the Foundation level, is critical for our sustainability and continued operation at the national level. We call on all of our supporters to help us in this effort and welcome any ideas or suggestions to make 2013 our best ever year!
We look forward to seeing all of you at our events in 2013. Until then from all of us and the 10,000 families across Canada living with kids cancer we want to thank you for all you did to make a difference in 2012.
