In honour of Lukas Lundin, who passed in 2022 from brain cancer, the Lundin Cancer Fund was established with a mission to fund the very best in cancer research.
On July 26, 2022, Lukas Lundin passed after a courageous battle with glioblastoma. His legacy lives on through the Lundin Cancer Fund, which this year alone helped raise a record $10.85M for Canada’s largest glioblastoma research program in partnership with the @cancersociety.
Lundin Cancer Fund raises over $8m out of record-breaking $10.85m at this year’s Daffodil Ball. Funds will be used to establish first @LundinCancer Fund–Canadian @cancersociety Glioblastoma Research Program in Canada.

A huge thank you to the @LundinCancer and Lundin family for contributing $4 million to the Canadian Cancer Society to establish Canada’s largest 5-year research program focused exclusively on glioblastoma.
Glioblastoma is the most aggressive and deadly form of brain cancer. Together, the organizations will also raise an additional $4 million, for a total of $8 million, to transform brain cancer outcomes.
To support the project, and in memory of Lukas Lundin, two of Vancouver’s largest galas – the Canadian Cancer Society Vancouver Daffodil Ball and the Lundin Cancer Gala will unite in April 2025. 💛
