We do not accept cash directly. Cash collected can be converted into a single cheque and mailed to ANAC with the completed Offline Donation Form, or converted to an online payment through your personal fundraising page (if you’ve created one) or our general campaign page. Tax receipts are automatically generated by CanadaHelps using the billing information of the person making the online payment, and adjustments cannot be made. If a donor would like a tax receipt, the Offline Donation Form must be mailed to ANAC with their contact information so a receipt can be issued.

Yes! The virtual format allows participants worldwide to join. The more participants we reach, the closer we get to a world that understands acoustic neuromas.
