WICC Alberta

Welcome to WICC Alberta The Alberta Chapter of the Women in Insurance Cancer Crusade was founded by Lois Yanke, Donna Brown, and Mary-Jane Winfield. Armed with enthusiasm and a core group of dedicated volunteers, they began encouraging the insurance industry in Alberta to see WICC as their charity of choice. The goal set out by the founders of WICC AB was to raise $1M in 10 years and on the 10 year anniversary of the Alberta Chapter we were beyond pleased to have realized that goal. Of course, our work is not done until a cure is found. We count ourselves fortunate to have created a unique relationship with the AB/NWT division of the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS). This strong connection enables us to choose our research projects year by year. WICC AB ensures that all of the funding we provide goes direct to cancer research as opposed to administrative and overhead costs of the CCS. WICC AB has been presented with the Community Champion Award, Excellence in Revenue Development, and was honoured with the CCS AB/NWT division’s, first ever, named grant, The Women Insurance Cancer Crusade Alberta Innovation Grant of the Canadian Cancer Society. The WICC AB Chapter continues to succeed thanks to the generosity and support of the Alberta insurance community as well as the passion and dedication of our volunteers.
