For more than 70 years, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) has celebrated the Daffodil Campaign in spring. The daffodil is resilient, it is the first flower to bloom in the spring and for those living with cancer, it is a symbol of strength, courage and hope.

As we begin to emerge from a very difficult year, we invite Canadians to rally around this symbol to provide hope to people affected by cancer.

Donating to the Canadian Cancer– especially during a pandemic – is the most impactful way to improve the quality of life of people affected by all cancers and bring them hope.

Thanks to your donations, we:

• Provide critical information – Since the start of the pandemic we have helped 15.9 million people access vital health information about cancer on cancer.ca, helping people better manage life with cancer and answer questions they may have.

• Offer community and connection – During the pandemic, more than 250,000 people visited our supportive online community at CancerConnection.ca, and our Cancer Information Helpline handled 43,952 inquiries via phone, email, text and chat, reducing anxiety and limiting feelings of isolation.

 • Fund ground-breaking research – Your donations to CCS fund innovation across the entire cancer continuum to most effectively impact Canadians. Through our Spark grants, we “ignite” ideas that can produce life-changing advancements in cancer prevention and early detection by harnessing the power of new technology in areas including artificial intelligence, robotics and smart devices.

Together, we will change cancer from something we fear, to something all Canadians will live well beyond or never get in the first place.

Thank you for your donation!
