The Edmonton-based society was established 10 years ago andexists because, it says, no other organization or hospital facility provides the necessary resources to adequately address the program and support needs of children with cancer and their families. The Kids with Cancer Society receives limited attention yet it provides more direct support and services for children with cancer than all other Northern Alberta charities combined. In this regard it is important to note that all programs and services initiated by the Society are designed to either enhance or create new opportunities thereby ensuring that there is no duplication or overlap of resources and services.
