Every day, more than 37 Canadians will hear the words “you have bladder cancer.”
Your support can help us ensure that nobody has to face their diagnosis alone.
Year-End Giving for Bladder Cancer
“Doug and I never heard of bladder cancer until he was diagnosed. Any cancer diagnosis is scary, but thanks to BCC, we both found understanding of what we were in for and that’s a huge part of the battle.”
—Julie S., Major Donor

Meet Pierre, Karen, & Brian
“These meetings have become an important source of comfort and support for me. They allow me to connect with people who have various lived experiences of bladder cancer, share our stories, and see that I am not alone in my situation.”
—Pierre, Survivor and Support Group Member
“I signed up for Bladder Cancer Canada’s newsletters when my husband was first diagnosed. Through the newsletters and the group I was introduced to, I’ve learned so many useful things and received some fantastic support.”

This GivingTuesday, Help Us Make Bladder Cancer Resources More Accessible
Receiving a bladder cancer diagnosis changes everything. But too often, patients struggle to find reliable information and trustworthy answers to their questions.
December 1, 2026 is GivingTuesday – a movement that brings Canadians from coast-to-coast together for a day of generosity. This GivingTuesday, we are raising $20,000 to bring our medical and lifestyle guidebooks together in one essential, unified resource, and make it available in 2 additional translations of Arabic and Polish to reach even more people with trusted guidance.
While we currently offer our guidebooks in 6 languages, your support will help us make these resources available to even more patients – because Canadians impacted by bladder cancer deserve access to materials in their preferred language.
With a unified guidebook, we can provide information about the different types of bladder cancer, treatment options, healthy living, and more in a more convenient format, free of charge.
This GivingTuesday, we’re counting on you to help us get there. Your support brings each person facing bladder cancer closer to the answers they need and towards a better understanding of their diagnosis.
