The Giftless Gift

This year for our Giftless Gift Guide we took Carley’s Angels out of the equation. How can your gift directly impact cancer patients within the Cancer Experience Program and what exactly does each gift value do… exactly?! We wanted to put you in the drivers seat this giving season. Scroll through our giftless gift guide to see exactly what your gift will do for a patient today.

Thank you Cards will be issued for every donation.

For those who have everything and want nothing, give in their honour. We will mail each honouree a Thank You card outlining exactly what the gift given in their honour is doing for patients this holiday season.

Please note that tax receipts will be emailed to you with in 2-3 weeks of time of donation.
