Alberta Cancer Foundation

Having just received my info in the mail for the Alberta Cancer Foundation fundraiser I am participating in in March as well as the fact it is the holiday season I felt it necessary to leave some quick thoughts on this very special organization. They put on so many wonderful events that help bolster people’s spirits and create a deeper sense of community like the always fun underwear affair and bust a move for breast cancer. They also offer world class treatment and a beautiful facility. I came down to this location for my orientation session for bust a move last year and found the building well laid out and very easy to navigate. I have never felt pressured to donate my time or money with the frequent emails and calls other organizations subject you to year after year even if you only donated once ages ago. I know with the holiday season upon us we all have so much stress looking after the needs of our own families at home as well as having to selectively go through all the different charities that desperately need extra dollars and man power at this time of year but I strongly encourage you to donate any extra time or money you may have to these fine folks. Edmonton has the reputation of being a leader in medical research developments and the dollars raised at events like the ones the Alberta Cancer Foundation organizes helped get us there.
