The Fight to End Cancer gala thrives thanks to the incredible support of our community, and we are proud to highlight one of our longest-standing partners: Air Canada. Since 2017, Air Canada has been a dedicated supporter of our mission, and we are delighted to have them return this year as our official Auction Partner.
Their unwavering commitment speaks volumes about their passion for making a meaningful difference. Over nearly a decade of partnership, Air Canada’s generous contributions to our auctions have played a pivotal role in helping us raise over $3 million in direct support of The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation.
Specifically, these funds have supported the Guided Therapeutics (GTx) Program led by Dr. Jonathan Irish. This groundbreaking initiative has not only advanced cancer treatment and cures at The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre but has also shared its innovative research and therapies with hospitals worldwide, impacting countless lives.
The Fight to End Cancer is honored to partner with Air Canada and other like-minded organizations who believe in the power of community and collective action. Together, we are making strides toward ending cancer in our lifetime.

About The Fight To End Cancer
The Fight To End Cancer (FTEC) is a year-round initiative driven by ambassadors, sponsors, and volunteers worldwide. Since our inception in 2012, we have donated over $3 million to the cause. Funds raised by FTEC go directly to the GTX Program at The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation. Each year, we honour the hard work and dedication of our FTEC family through alternating events: a black-tie charity boxing gala and our newest initiative, The Friday Night Fights ‘To End Cancer’. Our mission is to raise funds for cancer research year-round with the support of the local community and business owners. Together, we will end cancer in our lifetime.
