The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) has reimagined Relay For Life into Relay At Home – a new, fun and interactive way for participants to Relay online from the comfort of their home and respect physical distancing.
Join WICC in support of The Canadian Cancer Society as it marks its 12th year anniversary as a partner of Relay For Life. Over that time, WICC has raised an incredible $4.1M none of which would have been possible without National Sponsors Support.
CCS is facing losses estimated between $80 – $100M, and without this revenue cannot fulfill their mission and research promises. Now more than ever we need to unite as an industry to prove that community is bigger than cancer.
When you, your colleagues or family join Relay At Home, you make a meaningful difference for people affected by cancer. By fundraising and donating, you allow CCS to continue offering their cancer information helpline and online support programs during this time and all year round.
When: June 13 from 7 – 9 p.m. ET
Where: Visit relayforlife.ca. It is easy and free to register!
Why: To celebrate cancer survivors, commemorate those we’ve lost and raise money for life-saving research
