A Look at What We’ve Been Up To

Over the past few months, Medical Cadets has continued to grow, evolve, and expand its efforts to make a meaningful difference in communities around the world. From strengthening existing partnerships to launching new initiatives, we have been working to broaden our reach while finding new ways to address pressing health and community needs.

Expanding Community Outreach

Our summer food drive was a major milestone in our community outreach efforts. In partnership with the Edmonton Food Bank, we successfully collected 321 food items, totaling approximately 600 pounds of food to support individuals and families facing food insecurity. This achievement reflects the dedication of our volunteers and the generosity of our community. Building on this success, we are working to recruit more volunteers, strengthen school involvement, and improve the organization of future food drives.Looking ahead, we are preparing for an upcoming book drive in partnership with Parsippany High School. Collected books will be donated to local hospitals and underserved communities, helping make educational resources and reading materials more accessible to those who need them.

Expanding Cancer Awareness & Fundraising in Canada

In Canada, following the recent passing of a teacher of one of our Canadian branch members, our team decided to expand its efforts toward cancer awareness and research funding. We are organizing a month-long fundraising campaign, selling Freezies after school every Thursday, with proceeds going toward cancer-related causes. Alongside fundraising, our Canadian branch is planning educational presentations, awareness campaigns, and personal speeches from individuals whose families have been affected by cancer. Through this initiative, we hope to bring the local school community together, encourage meaningful conversations, and support the ongoing fight against cancer.

Our Growing Impact

As Medical Cadets continues to expand, our work has been made possible through partnerships with organizations including Edmonton Food Bank, UNICEF, and SEVA. Together, our initiatives and fundraising efforts have helped us:

• Raise $15,000+, including a $3,000 IB Youth Action Fund grant.

• Screen 2,000+ children and contribute to an 18% reduction in malnutrition.

• Positively impact 18,000+ lives through our initiatives.

• Expand operations across the United States, Canada, Egypt, and India.

These milestones represent more than numbers. They reflect the growing network of students, volunteers, organizations, and community members working together toward a shared goal.

As we move forward, we are focused on building stronger partnerships, improving our existing initiatives, and introducing new projects that create lasting impact. Medical Cadets is continuously evolving, and we look forward to sharing what comes next!
