The organization aims to discuss and spread awareness about cancer. It works to collect funds and donate them for cancer research. This initiative provided an opportunity for the youth of today to share their ideas and their prospective treatments regarding cancer. Also, giving opportunities to students to research their ideas inclined them towards research and problem-solving. This was a beneficial step for the students of the University of Alberta as well as those enrolled elsewhere in the world.

"Even in today's world, the importance of a healthy mind is overlooked. You can see people talking openly about their physical health problems. This isn't the same when we speak about mental health. People are hesitant."
