The Alberta Cancer Foundation, along with Alberta Health Services
(AHS) and the University of Calgary (UCalgary), are thrilled to
announce that
ARC Resources Ltd. (ARC) has
generously donated $5 million to the
OWN.CANCER
campaign. This donation is the largest corporate gift made to the
campaign and will support clinical trials and innovations in
radiation oncology at the Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer
Centre opening later this year.
“I would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to ARC Resources
for their transformative donation to cancer care in Alberta,” says
Wendy Beauchesne, CEO, Alberta Cancer Foundation. “Their generous
and ongoing support will not only drive groundbreaking research but
also directly impact the lives of Albertans facing cancer, offering
hope, comfort, and improved outcomes right here in Calgary.”
ARC has not only donated $5 million to OWN.CANCER but has also
pledged significant support as a key corporate sponsor for the
Alberta Cancer Foundation’s Enbridge Tour Alberta for
Cancer, Alberta’s largest cycling event aimed at making
life better for cancer patients across the province. With this
latest commitment, ARC's total contributions to the Alberta Cancer
Foundation soar to over $6.5 million, making a tremendous
difference for countless cancer patients here in Alberta and
setting an incredible example of the power of community
investment.
“Cancer is a diagnosis that requires an extensive network of
support to conquer, and it’s a cause that hits close to home for
ARC and our employees,” said Terry Anderson, ARC’s President and
Chief Executive Officer. “The Arthur Child will open the doors for
patients to receive world-class care and we look forward to seeing
the positive impact this will have for so many Albertans.”
ARC’s donation is helping the OWN.CANCER campaign move one step
closer to meeting it’s $250 million fundraising goal to support
world-class cancer research and care to the Arthur J.E. Child
Comprehensive Cancer Centre in Calgary.
“At ARC, we embrace innovation in all facets of our business.
This donation will support grassroots innovation in cancer
detection, treatment and care through leading research, world-class
diagnostic equipment, and the latest clinic trials,” said
Anderson.
The Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre will be the
largest comprehensive cancer centre in Canada and a world-leading
healthcare facility for research and education in oncology,
delivering fully integrated cancer care under one roof. Its design,
made up of two curving, L-shaped forms coming together in an
embrace, will provide patients, families and staff with a warm,
comforting environment that invokes hope and healing.
