Investing in the future of Radiation Oncology

There’s so much to improve and accomplish in the field of Radiation Oncology. That’s why we created the Canadian Radiation Oncology Foundation (CROF). Through this registered charitable organization, we raise funds to invest in the future of Radiation Oncology.

How do we do this? By funding professional education and scientific research in radiation medicine, as well as educational programs to enhance public awareness of the crucial role of Radiation Oncology in national cancer care. With the help of our donors and supporters, CROF advances CARO’s mission of ensuring the highest standard of radiation treatment while reducing the burden and suffering of cancer patients in Canada.

Together we can truly make a difference

CROF truly makes a difference through our public education, professional development and scientific research programs. But we can’t do it alone. We need the financial support of generous people like you to continually advance our goals of promoting timely access to Radiation Oncology services and improving the lives of cancer patients across Canada.

We need you to help make it all happen!

Support worthy programs such as the Pamela Catton Studentship Program and the CROF Resident Career Travel Award. We’re investing in the future of Radiation Oncology. Let’s do it together. Be part of the effort to ensure the best radiation treatment and care for cancer patients in Canada. Donate to CROF today.
