The Princess Margaret Cancer Research Foundation, the nonprofit with the most initiatives on the annual list of Canada’s largest peer-to-peer fundraising programs, is the Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum’s 2025 North American Organization Of The Year.

The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation produces four programs on the annual Canadian Top Thirty ranking: The Ride To Conquer Cancer, The Walk To Conquer Cancer, Road Hockey To Conquer Cancer and The Journey To Conquer Cancer. In 2024 the foundation raised more than $30,000,000 from peer-to-peer fundraising efforts involving over 10,000 participants and 160,000 donors

“The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation has taken peer-to-peer fundraising seriously for nearly a quarter century – and that has paid off by generating more than $550 million dollars to support cancer-fighting research,” said Forum President David Hessekiel. “We’re so impressed by how the foundation continues to evolve existing programs and create new ones such as Cricket To Conquer Cancer which premieres in May.”

“For over two decades, the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation has taken immense pride in our Peer-to-Peer Fundraising programs,” said the PMCF’s VP Corporate & Community Partnerships Steve Merker. “Our Board has recognized not only the critical funds these events raise but also the extraordinary long-term value they bring to our organization. With their unwavering support and strategic investment, we continue to expand these programs—fueling breakthroughs to improve outcomes for patients in Canada and around the globe.”

The Organization Of The Year Award is sponsored by Eventage, a national event production agency serving the nation’s top brands and nonprofits

“We’ve always been fans of the impact and scale of PMCF’s Ride to Conquer Cancer, and now that we’ve gotten to know them through the Organization of the Year process, we’re even more impressed with how strategic and thoughtful the team is with their approach” said Eventage Partner & Chief Creative Officer Matt Glass. “We’re honored to present them with this well-deserved recognition.”
