To hold our annual Cancervive Cycle Tour charity bike ride we rely on the help of riders, volunteers, donors and sponsors. To raise awareness and funds for the ride, we host several fundraising events throughout the year including our annual party and silent auction.
We’re also fortunate enough to have several wonderful organizations host fundraising events on our behalf.
Events in 2018:
June 13 at 7 pm: Cancervive Cycle Tour Information Night at Wellspring Calgary Carma House. Open to all participants, riders and volunteers.
September 11-16: 2018 Cancervive Cycle Tour.
October 27: Cancervive Party and Silent Auction at Common Crown Brewery. Join us for our annual fundraising party. All proceeds raised from this event help to fund the Cancervive Cycle Tour.

Calgary Oilpatch Hockey Tournament for Cancervive
April 14-15, 2018 at the Twin Arenas in Calgary, AB.
UPDATE: Thanks to the players, organizers, fans, and sponsors of the 2018 event. Thanks to you the tournament raised $11,000 for Cancervive! We can’t thank you enough for your generosity, dedication, and hard work.
For the past 6 years a group of oil and gas professionals have been hitting the ice in support of Cancervive & Wellspring. This fun, no-winner hockey tournament attracts players of all levels from all corners of the oil business. The hockey play is at a competitive level but always stays good-natured and fun. The players are serious about the spirit of the game and the reason they play in the tournament; cancer has touched many of their lives. The Oilpatch’s generosity shows every year; they’ve raised $70,000 for use in the past 6 years!
