The Council of the Corporation of the Town of Whitby and its Mayor, Elizabeth Roy, have proclaimed that Oct 6, 2024 will be known as CIBC Run for the Cure Day.

We are Canada’s largest single-day, volunteer-led event in support of the breast cancer cause.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Canadian women. But thanks to you, important progress is being made.

More than $507 Million has been raised to fund breast cancer research projects since 1992.

You are not alone and we are here to help.

This is the perfect time to kick your fundraising into high gear and if you haven’t already, make a personal donation. Reach out to friends and family for support and share your fundraising page on social media. We have lots of tools to help you get started in your Fundraising Centre, including social sharing features, pre-written email templates, and more.

Together, let’s raise $1 million in just 3 days. This will help fund a national support system for people with breast cancer and fuel life-saving research that enables new understanding about the disease, better treatments and better outcomes.
