Use your talents to raise critical funds.

#DIY2CONQUER

No fundraising minimums | No registration fees

The current pandemic has taken a toll on the way we typically run our fundraising events here at The Princess Margaret, but cancer diagnosis continues to rise. We need to maintain our fundraising momentum and fuel the lifesaving research that gives our vulnerable patients real hope. And we could really use your help.

By doing what you love most, you will directly support millions of people living with cancer here in Canada and around the world

The DIY challenge is a twist on traditional fundraising - you raise funds for research while doing what you love (and following social distancing guidelines). From cooking lessons to yoga lessons to slap-shot secrets and running tips. All is welcome and all can make a huge difference in the lives of those living with cancer. The best part is, you can allocate your raised funds towards whatever area of cancer research means the most to you.

There are no fees, no minimums and we have all the tools you need to get started. Who knows, your DIY fundraiser might even become the next big thing.

When you DIY you help millions of people living with cancer around the world

It doesn't matter how you get there, you can walk, ride, bake, make, sell or build to raise funds. All proceeds go to the same place, The Princess Margaret. From there, they will directly support the scientists and researchers who lead the way in global cancer care. The best part is, you get to choose the area of research those funds are directed to.
