PRESS RELEASE: STRATHMORE, ALBERTA
AirSprint Inc., Canada's authority in Fractional Jet Ownership, is proud to announce its participation in the 2026 Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer, taking place July 18-19 in Strathmore, Alberta. This annual event reflects AirSprint's ongoing commitment to the communities it serves. Once again, cyclists from across Alberta, including the AirSprint Team, will come together for the Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer, the province's largest cycling fundraiser for life-changing cancer research and care. Together, they'll ride in honour of Albertans whose lives have been affected by cancer and in support of the researchers, clinicians, and care teams working toward a future without it.
"The Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer means a great deal to our team because, like so many others, we've all been impacted by cancer in one way or another," said James Elian, President & CEO of AirSprint. "Coming together to support cancer research and care is something we're proud to do each year. Every kilometre we ride and every dollar we raise helps make a real difference for Albertans and their families."
Thanks to the generous support of our 2026 corporate sponsors, FL3XX, AXIS Insurance, Textron Aviation, Systema Solutions, Wyvern, CAE, Bellwood Global, Gogo, Hertz, World Fuel, and Serko, along with our friends, families, and individual donors, the AirSprint Team has raised more than $59,000 to date in support of life-changing cancer research and care.
In 2025, during its 17th year, more than 1,800 cyclists came together for the Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer, raising a record-breaking $9.4 million for Albertans facing cancer. Since its inception, the Tour has raised more than $111 million in support of the Alberta Cancer Foundation. The Foundation empowers and unites Albertans around a common purpose by investing in the future of cancer research and care and ensuring no Albertan facing cancer walks alone.
This year's 19-member AirSprint Team, made up of seasoned, first-time, and virtual riders, is ready to put its best pedal forward in the collective fight against cancer. Together, we're not just riding. We're helping create a future with more hope for Albertans facing cancer.
