Pledge today to change the future of cancer

With a growing and aging population, the number of new cancer cases continues to rise. Yet, advances in research and treatment offer hope. Today, 64% of people with cancer in Canada will survive at least 5 years after their diagnosis, compared with just 25% in the 1940s. This progress is thanks in large part to breakthroughs funded by generations of individuals who understand the importance of supporting cancer research. Individuals just like you.

Together, we are making meaningful progress to keep improving cancer outcomes – giving people more time and greater quality of life. The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS)'s commitment to funding scientifically excellent, innovative research means we have helped improved the ways we detect, diagnose and treat cancer and are enabling new life-saving discoveries right around the corner.

And you could be a spark that helps ignite a new era of breakthroughs, giving hope to people in Canada and around the world.

By signing this pledge, you are taking the first step toward making a lasting impact on the lives of people affected by cancer.

"Simply put, CCS-funded research saved my life. Now, I can watch my own children grow up and know there is an even better future for them."

-Tyler Cook, living beyond cancer

For generations, charitable gifts to CCS left in wills have contributed to progress in pursuing transformational research, providing compassionate support for people affected by cancer and advocating for healthier public policy.

Today, you've decided to create a legacy that will give the gift of hope for generations to come.

Thank you for your commitment. When it comes to taking on cancer, it doesn't just take a village, it takes a society.
