Supporting Women with Cancer

2025 Cameco Riders Touchdown for Dreams

Making a dream become reality is fulfilling.  But this program’s sense of community and mutual support extends far beyond the fulfilment of a single dream. As dream recipients face unique challenges together, supported by program partners and new friendships, their shared strength, grace and resilience inspires us all.

As a partner, we are honoured and humbled to be entering the 14^th season of this unique program.

Program Highlights

• Each year, the Cameco Riders Touchdown for Dreams program begins anew and is launched by a search for dream recipients. These will be Saskatchewan women living with a life-threatening cancer diagnosis.  The Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan, a vital program partner, leads process and securely gathers applications for adjudication.
• 2025 recipients selected from these applications are invited to attend a private Dreams Gala, along with past dream recipients, held later this spring in Saskatoon.
• 2025 recipients’ dreams will be fulfilled throughout the year.
• Finally, the Saskatchewan Roughriders will host its special annual Pink Game at Mosaic Stadium in Regina. Dream recipients are invited to attend this event, where a team of Cameco employees, as well as interested recipients and their families, sell pink merchandise to support the program.

2024 Recap

Thanks to an outpouring of support from Rider Nation and a unique partnership, the Cameco Riders Touchdown for Dreams program was able to grant eight dreams in 2024, the program's 13th season. In total this program has fulfilled the dreams of 88 women facing life-threatening cancer.  2024 dreams were each very special. With trips to theme parks, backyard gazebos, fishing in BC, attending the 2024 Grey Cup and enjoying new home furnishings, Cameco volunteer staff and local suppliers worked tirelessly to turn recipients’ dreams into realities.

Dreams are funded through several initiatives: Rider fans purchasing pink souvenirs at the annual Cameco Riders Touchdown for Dreams pink game, where all profits are provided to the program. In total, Rider Nation contributed almost $40,000 in 2024. Cash donations and staff volunteer hours from Cameco. Financial and in-kind donations from people across the province who have been touched by the program.

The Cameco Riders Touchdown for Dreams program is a partnership between Cameco, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan.
