Fundraising Events

Volunteer

The Canadian Cancer Society hosts a variety of fundraising events in communities all across Manitoba. Participating in these events is a great way to have fun, build community spirit and raise money to fight cancer at the same time.

Manitoba Dragon Boat Festival (September)

Volunteering with the Canadian Cancer Society in Manitoba is a great opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life, be part of a team, share your experience, learn new skills and develop lasting friendships.

Daffodil Days (March) A daffodil gives hope…Imagine what a bunch can do!

For more than forty years, the Canadian Cancer Society has been selling live bunches of daffodils across Manitoba to raise money in the fight against cancer. Over 200 volunteers will sell daffodils in major malls, clinics, hospitals, recreation and retail outlets, senior homes and in their workplace.

Door to Door Canvassing (April) Thousands of volunteers head out each April during Cancer Awarness Month to knock on doors and collect funds for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Racing the Red for Research!

Our advocacy efforts ensure that key cancer issues receive the attention they deserve from our elected officials. We use our influence to encourage governments to pass policies that help prevent cancer and help those living with the disease. This can include policies that better our environment, health, and help those affected by cancer by getting them higher quality and more affordable treatment.

The Canadian Cancer Society funds many programs and services to help people living with cancer, their families, and their friends. Here are some of the programs the Canadian Cancer Society of Manitoba funds on a yearly basis:

Smokers’ Helpline

40% of females and 45% of males in Manitoba will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime. Many are in for the fight of their lives, but with your help they will not fight alone.

Every year, Manitobans help the Canadian Cancer Society raise millions of dollars for research that finds better ways to treat cancer or prevent it altogether.

Nationally, the Canadian Cancer Society invests approximately $50 million in leadingedge research across Canada, including scientists working right here in Manitoba. We carefully select only the best research that has the most promise of making a difference in the fight against cancer. And research does make a difference. Today, 62% of people diagnosed with cancer will survive compared to only about half that number in the 1960s.

The Canadian Cancer Society, Manitoba Division also provides more than $2.5 million for prevention, advocacy efforts, and support and services every year.

By creating awareness about the disease through educational and preventative campaigns, we are empowering Manitobans to lead healthier, cancer-free lifestyles.

We are Canada’s largest fund-raising organization in the battle against cancer, and we rely solely on the support of donors and the hard work of volunteers.

Together, we can win the fight against cancer.
