Childhood Cancer Awareness Month


SEPTEMBER is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (CCAM) and we are inviting you to help us make a difference in the lives of children affected by childhood cancer by shaving or cutting your hair through Kids Cancer Care’s Shave Your Lid for a Kid program.

Children affected by cancer have to go through many treatments, and more often than not, these treatments cause these brave kids to lose their hair. Help us support children affected by cancer and prove bald is beautiful by shaving or cutting your hair.

Taking part in the Shave Your Lid for A Kid program will raise funds to support Alberta families in four critical areas: Camp and Community Outreach, Childhood Cancer Research, Hospital Programs and Scholarships.

Kids Cancer Care’s goal is to host as many shaves as possible in this month to help create awareness, raise essential funds and show support to Alberta families battling childhood cancer. Join us this month as we stand in unison to prove that Kids Can beat this!

If you are interested in participating in a shave as an individual, school, community group or company, please click here to register your shave today!  

If September does not fit into your personal schedule but you would still like to participate, please consider supporting Kids Cancer Care another time! The Shave Your Lid for a Kid program runs year round and is structured to make it as fun and easy as possible for you to participate!
