Become a Champion
Empowering Families, Changing Lives.
No family should have to face childhood cancer alone — and none of this happens without you.
We hold families up by providing vital financial relief, emotional support, and practical help from the moment of diagnosis through treatment, survivorship, and bereavement. But we cannot do it alone.
Whether you give financially, volunteer your time, host a community fundraiser, or lift your voice as a KWCS Champion, you ensure that no family walks this path isolated or alone.

Become a KWCS Champion
You don’t need to be a fundraiser, a marketer, or a public speaker to create a massive impact. You just need to care.
KWCS Champions are the people who make sure that when a family in Northern Alberta receives a childhood cancer diagnosis, they find us. They are business leaders and neighbours, parents and professionals, social media voices and quiet connectors. What they share is a belief that no family should have to face this alone.
As a Champion, you bring your voice, your network, and your authenticity to a mission that is bigger than any one person. You help us reach the families who need us before they even know we exist.

Volunteer Opportunities
Some of the biggest impacts happen behind the scenes.
Every fundraising event, community initiative, and family program offered by Kids with Cancer Society is made possible by people who choose to give their time. Our volunteers help create the support system that children and families facing childhood cancer depend on, ensuring that programs, services, and moments of connection remain available when they are needed most.
Whether you’re welcoming guests at an event, helping with administrative projects, or supporting a fundraising initiative, your contributions help strengthen our mission and make a lasting difference in the lives of local families.
