Vancouver, Canada BC Cancer Foundation Full time

This is the most exciting time in the history of cancer research and care.

We are on the cusp of true transformation. Cancer is the world’s biggest health crisis and the BC Cancer Foundation—the fundraising arm partner of BC Cancer—has launched the most ambitious and comprehensive healthcare campaign in BC’s history to lead this transformation and elevate cancer care for all British Columbians.

With over 90 employees working dispersed across 5 sites in B.C, we are one of the largest non-profit organizations in BC. We engage with over 100,000 donors and communities to inspire philanthropic investment in BC Cancer and we partner with some of the world’s leading researchers, oncologists and care providers.

At the BC Cancer Foundation, we are a professional, passionate and positive team who believe that we can help make a positive difference in the lives of all British Columbians and bring us closer to a world free of Cancer.

We are driven by a collective purpose to be a catalyst, powering world class innovation while supporting deeply personal cancer patient journeys.

About the Mass Participation Events

The Tour de Cure is BC’s biggest annual fundraiser that powers innovative Cancer research. Thousands of riders, volunteers and supporters come together each year for a two-day cycling challenge at the end of August. This program is much more than a two-day event. It is a community movement and a year-round peer-to-peer fundraising program. To date, the Tour de Cure has raised over $124 million to fuel best in class research in BC.

Workout to Conquer Cancer, is a call to connect, fundraise and move for each other, and everyone facing cancer. We move for the people who cannot. We move for every survivor who now feels strong. We move because together, that movement can take us beyond limits, beyond belief. Each May, we move for 30 minutes each day to inspire everyone to make an impact. All funds raised through the Workout to Conquer Cancer challenge go to world-leading innovation in cancer research and care through the BC Cancer Foundation.

The Cypress Challenge - since 2008, riders have pushed themselves to raise almost $4.5 million toward leading pancreatic cancer research at BC Cancer. They’ve been making the climb each summer for 16 years to help improve outcomes for the more than 800 people per year diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
