Cops for Cancer
Together, we're changing the lives of children with cancer and their families.
About Cops for Cancer
As a partnership between first responders and the Canadian Cancer Society, Cops for Cancer has raised millions of dollars to fund life-saving pediatric cancer research and support children with cancer and their families. Since the program's inception, we've raised almost $52 million through Cops for Cancer cycling tours and fundraising events such as head shaves.

Why we ride
Cops for Cancer began in 1997 with one police officer who wanted to make a difference. Today, it has grown into an incredible movement across the country that's changing the lives of children with cancer.
Cops for Cancer is one of the largest funders of pediatric cancer research in Canada. Progress is being made – we've seen pediatric cancer survival rates increase from 71% in the 1980s to over 83% today.
The impact of cancer on the life of a child and their family is devastating. We provide a support system that helps children with cancer and their families live their lives as fully as possible.
We advocate for better support for parents and legal guardians who need to take time off work to care for children with cancer and help shape health policies that will save lives.
Donate to Cops for Cancer
It's thanks to the support of our communities that we can show children and families affected by cancer that they're not alone. Help us continue to support children with cancer and increase pediatric cancer survival rates by donating today.
