Women in Insurance Cancer Crusade (WICC) is thrilled to announce it is once again supporting the Canadian Cancer Society’s signature event, Relay For Life, a powerful gathering to raise funds and awareness in the fight against cancer.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 8, as we come together in Burnaby. Nationally, WICC chapters will be present at events held in Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, and Montreal.
“The insurance industry is more than just policies and premiums; it’s about protecting lives and fostering resilience. By participating in Relay for Life, our industry can make a tangible impact in the fight against cancer,” said Relay For Life Chair Amanda Martin, Director at Northbridge Insurance Go. “Every step taken, every dollar raised, brings us closer to a world where cancer no longer threatens our loved ones. Let’s rally together in support of WICC’s ambitious fundraising goal of $250,000
The 2024 event marks WICC’s 16th year of participation at Relay For Life. As a longstanding and dedicated partner of the Canadian Cancer Society, WICC has raised $20 million for cancer research to date. This achievement marks a remarkable step in the organization’s goal to fundraise $25 million by 2025, supporting the Canadian Cancer Society’s ongoing investment in life-saving cancer research and support programs.
Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of people affected by cancer. To register a team, join a team or make a donation, visit www.relayforlife.ca.
