We are an AMS club operating out of the University of British Columbia vancouver campus. Made up by passionate, student volunteers in the fight against cancer.
Our Goals and Purpose:
- Promote awareness about cancer and cancer related issues
- Offer support to the UBC community and to those who have been affected by cancer and related issues
- Organize events for recognized national and local charities
- Provide information about cancer and cancer related issues
Itching to join us in the fight against cancer? We provide volunteer opportunities! We are open to all, and as a student-run organization, if you’re a student, don’t hesitate to contact us and join!
We have been an AMS club since 2006.
