Alberta Cancer Foundation

The Alberta Cancer Foundation is a light that guides Albertans through the darkness of cancer. We empower some of the best and brightest researchers to bring the latest advancements to Albertans, sooner. We enable donors to turn the tide against the devastating impacts of cancer and make an indelible impact on their province today, and for generations to come. And we surround patients with love and support through every stage of their cancer journey, no matter where in Alberta they live or the kind of cancer they’re facing. Together, we are an unstoppable community—a force—that is rewriting the future for Albertans facing cancer.

Make-A-Wish Northern Alberta

The mission of Make-A-Wish® Northern Alberta is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.

Along with the national office, eight regional chapters grant magical wishes to children in need from coast-to-coast. Make-A-Wish Canada is an affiliate of Make-A-Wish® International, the largest wish-granting organization in the world, making dreams and wishes come true for more than 350,000 children since 1980. Boston Pizza Northern Alberta has proudly presented ten wishes to date! 

The Ben Stelter Foundation is thrilled to announce that we are bringing Proton Beam Therapy to Canada, with Edmonton being the first city to offer this groundbreaking treatment. This is a significant milestone in the fight against cancer, as it will help alleviate the financial and emotional burden on families who will no longer have to travel to the United States for treatment. We are confident that this new development will provide hope and comfort to cancer patients and their families across the country. It is this driving force that motivates us to invest millions of dollars into bringing this cutting-edge technology to Canada. We firmly believe that every patient deserves access to the best possible treatment options, and we are committed to making that a reality.
