Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation is a registered Canadian charitable foundation. It is focused on improving the quality of life of children with cancer and their families. To this end, the Foundation raises funds by conducting memorable events that encourage an active, healthy lifestyle. Over the past five years, close to $5 million has been raised through the annual “Tour For Kids” cycling adventure, “The Inside Ride” cycling fund-raising program and several cross-continent cycling events. Part of the Foundation’s mandate is to inspire wellness, encourage volunteerism within our communities, and instill a sense of pride and purpose in everyone that is touched by a Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation event.

Donation Report

In 2010 Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation raised and distributed over $4,700,000 to deserving kids cancer charities across Canada; an increase of over 40% from 2009! We just couldn't have done this without you, our amazing sponsors, donors, volunteers, and participants.  As in previous years, this $4,700,000 represents 100% of all receiptable donations raised.  In other words, every single (receiptable) dollar raised by our donors has been distributed to the charities and programs we support.
