Register now for CCS’ Relay for Life 2022, in partnership with WICC
Since 1999, Relay for Life has united a collective of Canadians, who are a force-for-life in the face of cancer. At Relay for Life events, participants of all ages gather at a community space and take turns walking around a track or path to symbolize the perseverance and action needed to change the future of cancer.
WICC is pleased to announce it is once again supporting the Canadian Cancer Society’s signature event, where 100% of funds raised go directly toward funding ground-breaking cancer research and providing a national support system, so no one has to cope with a cancer diagnosis alone.
The 2022 RFL event will mark WICC’s 14th year supporting this fundraiser, and WICC has set an ambitious fundraising goal of $365,000 for this year’s Relay for Life campaign.
