YOU are a part of an unfolding story…

a story where children get cancer. The story of childhood cancer is one of fear and uncertainty, where families feel utterly alone and lost.

Fortunately, there is a hero in this story – YOU.

Thank you

2014/2015 ANNUAL REPORT

outreachBREAKING BREAD

After fasting for over 15 hours, little Liam woke up ravenous after surgery. Chowing down, before Mom could even slice him a piece of banana bread, he scarfed it down nearly whole.

You helped provide 343 home-cooked meals for families in the throes of childhood cancer through our Cooking and Caring program.

researchUNDERSTANDING BONE CANCER METASTASES

Whether or not bone cancer spreads to the lungs could mean life or death for a child. And yet, we still don’t know why and how some bone cancers spread. With your support, Dr. Michael Monument, an ExpAT (Experimental and Applied Therapeutics) researcher and orthopedic surgeon at the University of Calgary, is exploring these vital questions. The knowledge he gains could help doctors identify earlier who is at risk for lung metastases, while also paving the way for new, targeted therapies.

With your support, in 2014, we completed our $2.5-million commitment to the ExpAT program.The stories you find here today are just snippets of larger stories that we

are honoured to share. Know that for every story you read here there are countless more – all stories that begin with YOU.

We encourage you to visit kidscancercare.ab.ca for the complete stories because through your generosity you have helped shape each and every one.

campMASON’S MOUSTACHE

When Mason lost his hair to chemotherapy in 2013 and returned to school later that year, he returned with a full moustache. Sporting a brand new mock moustachio every day became this little guy’s strategy for deflecting attention from his baldness. This way, he wouldn’t have to talk about his cancer.

You gave 742 kids like Mason a place where they belong – bald heads, battle scars, mucho moustaches and all – without having to explain a thing.

campREMEMBERING LARISSA

“Having the freedom to celebrate your child in a safe community without worrying about upsetting other parents whose children are still fighting cancer is a gift.

Bereaved parents are their worst nightmare, we’re the Bad News Bearers and our journeys are so different. Theirs is one of hope and ours is one of remembering. Having a space where we could truly honour Larissa was so healing.” – Marggie Marks on 2014

Bereaved Family Camp.

Thank you. You’ve given parents, grieving the loss of their young, a safe space to honour their child.

hospitalEVERY BEAD TELLS A STORY

If you looked inside the homes of children affected by cancer, tucked away inside a closet or a drawer, you would find a tangle of colourful beads. Red beads, yellow beads, turquoise, pink, glow-in-the-dark beads. Part of the standard of care for children with cancer, the Beads of Courage program helps children understand the complex and often painful medical procedures they experience. Each bead represents a milestone in the trek against cancer and each one tells a unique story of courage and hope.

You helped dignify a child’s cancer experience by making Beads of Courage possible.

In 2014, you gave 1,610 hours during 13 Kindle Care Days at Camp Kindle, saving the foundation over $32K in maintenance and repair costs.

camp kindleKINDLE CARE DAYS

Each spring, the students of Rundle College roll up their shirt sleeves and pull on their work boots for a day of hard labour at Camp Kindle. Clearing away brush, hauling away rocks and cleaning up the forest floor, these teens graciously prepare Camp Kindle for the 700+ kids who come to enjoy its magic each summer.

educational supportLUCA’S LIGHT

From a young age, Luca showed signs of exceptional intelligence. Luca’s doctor was sure he was gifted. But just as his parents grew used to the idea of sending him to a gifted school, everything changed. At age four, Luca was diagnosed with a brain tumour and required months of high-dose chemotherapy and radiation. Today, Luca is a shadow of his former self. Learning is challenging and he’s struggling at school. “He’s changed so much because of what the treatment has done to his brain. He’s so little and he’s completely heartbroken.”– Luca’s mother Amber.

With your help, we are building an educational support program to help kids like Luca succeed both inside and outside the classroom.

volunteersSTEALING A PLACE IN THE HEARTS OF CHILDREN WITH CANCER

When Crispin Arthur told his family that his nine-year tenure with the Kids Cancer Care Board of Directors would soon end, his daughter Jane had only one question for him: “Will they still let you go to the Dad and Daughter Gala?” It’s a question that’s top-of-mind for many Calgary girls – given that tickets sell out within seconds every year. Jane and her father have been attending the gala since 2009, when Crispin chaired the volunteer committee that first launched the event. Little did they know the sweet little event, which raised $40,000 in its first year, would grow into one of Calgary’s premier events, annually raising more than $350,000 and commanding a waiting list for tickets that’s longer than the current guest list.

Thank you, Crispin and 300+ volunteers, for sharing your passion and expertise with us.

scholarshipsYOU HELP BRING DREAMS TO LIFE

When David Dallas was 12 years old and undergoing cancer treatments, his hands became so blistered from the chemotherapy that he couldn’t play his guitar. What kept him going at that time was the thought of playing his guitar again. Now, your support is keeping him going. With a Derek Wandzura Memorial Scholarship to Mount Royal University, David took that all-important first step toward his dream of becoming a professional jazz musician.

In 2014, your generous support made scholarships possible for David and eight other survivors.

Fine wine. Legendary cuisine. Breathtaking scenery. Unbeatable cause. Each spring, the world’s greatest winemakers and wine lovers gather at the Post Hotel & Spa for a weekend of splendour at the annual Wine Summit Lake Louise. But these connoisseurs of taste aren’t just raising their glasses to sample the world’s finest wines; they’re raising vital dollars in the fight against childhood cancer.

Over the past 10 years, George and André Schwarz of the Post Hotel & Spa and their spectacular team and generous guests have raised nearly $600,000 for the kids. Cheers!

Community fundraising events represent funds generated through fundraising initiatives hosted by individuals, companies, non-profit organizations and other generous groups in the community.

Capital campaign represents gifts and pledge payments to the Camp Kindle Capital Campaign.

Camp Kindle rentals represent revenue generated by making the facility available to community groups, companies, schools and other non-profit organizations during our off-season.

Other represents monies earned through interest on investments, government grants and from the Kids Cancer Care Derek Wandzura Memorial Scholarship Fund, an endowed fund at The Calgary Foundation.

INVESTMENT IN PROGRAMS AND SERVICESCamp and Outreach programs demonstrate our commitment to children and families affected by cancer, including summer and weekend camps at Camp Kindle and year-round outreach programs, such as the Teen Leadership Program or Cooking and Caring. These programs are designed to help children and families find support in a community that understands.

Research is the foundation of successful cancer treatments. With your generous gifts, we supported the Experimental and Applied Therapeutics research program at the Alberta Children’s Hospital and University of Calgary, which is dedicated to finding new therapies for children with high-risk cancers.

Scholarships help level the playing field for survivors and their families. In 2014, you helped us to invest in our endowed scholarship fund, while also awarding scholarships to survivors pursuing a post-secondary education.

Hospital programs help to ensure that Alberta children receive the specialized care they need right here in Alberta. Kids Cancer Care’s hospital programs help the Alberta

Children’s Hospital to recruit and retain the best medical staff, fund an international pediatric oncology residency training program and to offer programs such as family education, bereavement, Look Good, Feel Good and the Beads of Courage.

Volunteers are at the heart of Kids Cancer Care. Our investment in our volunteer program was returned manyfold in 2014 in the 19,000 hours volunteers gave at our camp and outreach programs and at our fundraising events to support our mission.

Public awareness and education includes programming associated with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September, along with the publication of our annual report, newsletters, website and videos to build awareness and support.

Acquisition of property and equipment primarily includes land improvements at Camp Kindle, renovations to the Music Hall at Camp Kindle and equipment to support our camp and outreach programs.

RIDING SOMEWHERE MEANINGFUL

Each summer, cyclists from across Canada make the decision to ride somewhere meaningful, so hundreds of Alberta children can also make a journey—to Camp Kindle. Organized by Coast to Coast Against Cancer, Tour for Kids Alberta is an epic three-day cycling tour through the Rocky Mountains that takes cyclists far beyond their personal bests and fitness goals. Inspired by the children

for whom they ride, Tour for Kids has raised more than $2 million for our camp programs since 2007.

Thank you for riding somewhere meaningful with us.
