How your donations help

*Donations in support of breast cancer research made between October 15-17, 2024 will be matched by Tetley Canada, up to a total of $50,000.

Matching donations come from corporate, institutional and individual donors who agree to match donations to specific programs, in order to inspire others to give. Donors may also require Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) to raise matching funds as a condition of their support. In both cases, these matches allow for an even greater impact. For more information about matching, and our partners, please visit cancer.ca/matching. Your donation will support cancer research and compassionate support programs. In the event the donations raised exceed the total funding need, CCS will redirect funds to where needed the most.
