Thanks to the generosity of many donors, CancerCare Manitoba Foundation has been able to grant more than $208 million since 2000. This support to CancerCare Manitoba profoundly impacts patient outcomes.

A lasting impact for Manitobans

In 2023, all Manitobans received a gift from the Paul Albrechtsen Foundation: a $27 million donation in support of the work happening at CancerCare Manitoba.

This will transform cancer care in our province, inspire people and push research forward, ultimately leading to better outcomes and more hope for Manitobans affected by cancer and their loved ones.

The synergy between donor generosity and cancer research in Manitoba

Through the support of donor generosity, remarkable progress has been made in advancing cancer research at the Paul Albrechtsen Research Institute CancerCare Manitoba.

Donations to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation travel through the CancerCare Manitoba building in Winnipeg to the Research Institute where they transform into life-changing breakthroughs created by local scientists and researchers.

This bench to bedside roadmap is unique to CancerCare Manitoba offering patients and their families who visit CancerCare Manitoba, the best possible care.

1,250 white lights will light up the stairwell at the CancerCare Manitoba building at 675 McDermot, representing those we cherish in memory, honour today, and for the people providing care along the way. The lights will officially be turned on December 2nd at 5:00 p.m. during a special outdoor lighting ceremony. Each day they will shine from dusk until midnight.
