Annual Fundraising Events

CHECK BACK OFTEN FOR UPDATES

Each year many community groups and volunteers hold annual events to help raise funds for Childcan. Childcan receives no government funding and does not receive funding from the United Way or the Canadian Cancer Society. These annual events ensure that Childcan has the financial resources to be there when our families need us the most.

If you would like to participate, volunteer, provide prizes, or want to know what you can do to help, please contact the event organizers as they would appreciate your participation and let them know you saw it on our website or call Childcan at 1-800-966-0631!

Thank you to the organizers and their supporters for your continued support.

WE COULD NOT DO IT WITHOUT YOU!!
