✨Celebrating 20 Years of CFL Fans Fight Cancer - A Milestone Year

#ShoutItFromTheRooftop

Twenty years ago, a small group of passionate CFL fans came together with one big idea, that a united football community could make a real impact in the fight against cancer. What started as a grassroots effort has grown into a powerful movement, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for cancer patients and their families across the country.

2026 marks the 20th Anniversary of CFL Fans Fight Cancer (CFLFFC) … and we’re thrilled to be celebrating this incredible milestone right here in Calgary during Grey Cup Festival!

This is going to be our biggest year yet, creating a legacy event! We can’t wait to bring fans, families, supporters, and CFL communities together from across the league.  

The CFL Fans Fight Cancer - 20th Anniversary Wrap-Up Event:

Saturday, November 14, 2026  

11:00 AM – 4:00 PM  

The Rooftop YYC, Calgary AB

Join us for an afternoon of connection, celebration, fundraising, and reflection on twenty years of impact. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to CFLFFC, this will be a highlight of Grey Cup Week and a chance to see the incredible strength of the CFL community in action.
