30 years ago, in November 1994, CBCN was officially incorporated and registered as a charitable organization. For 30 years, CBCN has had a proven track record of delivering patient-centred educational programming that addresses gaps and meets the needs of patients. CBCN also continues to demonstrate significant advocacy success that has ensured improved access to optimal care for breast cancer patients across Canada.

Run for a Cause in 2026: Support People with Breast Cancer
The year 2026 brings a powerful trifecta of opportunities to run, fundraise, and support the Canadian Breast Cancer Network (CBCN). These exciting events are more than just races; they are meaningful ways to create real change for Canadians affected by breast cancer. Your support helps ensure that no one faces breast cancer alone. This year, the funds that we receive will go towards our Knowledge and Impact programming that is focused on advancing education and equitable policy in breast cancer care and treatment.
Run to Empower – May 2nd, Ottawa

- a women’s-only performance race,
- an inclusive 5K race open to all athletes, and
- the Little Warriors Kids 1K race.
CBCN is proud to be the official charity partner of Run to Empower this year! We invite you to register for a race and make a donation to support our 2026 initiatives that will educate, support, and advocate for individuals impacted by a breast cancer diagnosis. You can also fundraise on behalf of CBCN if you are not able to register and run.
If you would like to volunteer on race day at the start and finish lines, please send us an email at cbcn@cbcn.ca.

Leave a Legacy
When planning your will you may want to think about Legacy Giving. This is an important way to ensure that others facing a breast cancer diagnosis continue to have access to the best treatment, information and support. This gift is a tremendous way to ensure that the work that CBCN does as the voice of patients and survivors continues to be a strong voice for future generations and families. Contact cbcn@cbcn.ca to discuss leaving a Legacy Donation.
In Lieu of Gifts
Instead of gifts in celebration of a special event or milestone, why not help others impacted by breast cancer? Or, make a donation to CBCN on someone’s behalf instead of giving a traditional gift; we’ll let them know a donation was made on their behalf. Donate today.
CBCN is a registered charity and issues charitable receipts for all donations. Our Charitable Registration number is: 889802971RR0001
