OUR GOAL

Cancer affects us all. Whether you have it yourself or someone you care about, cancer disrupts your life. Cancer control and attention for cancer patients are very much needed. Alpe d'HuZes was founded with the aim of converting the powerlessness caused by cancer into strength.

100% of donations to the Alpe d'HuZes/KWF Fund are spent on scientific research into cancer and on improving the quality of life of people with cancer. Our Alpe d'HuZes/KWF Fund finances research projects that help realize our mission. We want to achieve this through three themes:

Ambition: stimulating young talent.
‘Hermannetje’: accelerate the use of knowledge from research results with 'an extra push'.
New developments: creating extra opportunities for groundbreaking research ideas.

To ultimately ensure that we get cancer under control and that no one has to die from cancer in the future. Since 2006, we have raised more than 208 million euros. On the KWF website you can see how this money was spent.

KWF DUTCH CANCER SOCIETY

KWF Dutch Cancer Society is a very important partner of Alpe d'HuZes. Alpe d'HuZes has a registered Fund (a fund for subsidies) at KWF. The expenditure from this fund is made on the basis of an annual spending plan. This plan is set up by a meeting with scientists, patients, representatives of Alpe d'HuZes and KWF Dutch Cancer Society.

100% VOLUNTEERS

The Alpe d'HuZes organisation consists only of volunteers. Everyone who does their bit does so voluntarily. From security guard or caterer to doctor or chairman. We have volunteers who work all year round (some for more than ten years) and volunteers who only work during the Alpe d'HuZes week or on the race day. All these helping hands together make Alpe d'HuZes a success. Together, for each other. Do you have any questions concering voluntary work, please contact vrijwilligers@alpedhuzes.nl
