Fundraising activities

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

Whether you choose to shave your head, play in a golf tournament or walk around a track over night, your participation will help the Canadian Cancer Society make cancer history.

In addition to raising money, these special events also allow the Society to provide the public with important information about cancer and risk reduction, as well as about our services and the research that we fund.
