CIBC Run for the Cure, presented by the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation on Oct. 4, saw 313 participants raise $66,745.
"Today, we were truly all in this together as more than 100,000 Canadians united across the country for the CIBC Run for the Cure," said Lynne Hudson, CEO of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
"I want to thank each and every one of the participants, volunteers and donors for making a difference, and bringing us one step closer to realizing our vision of creating a future without breast cancer."
More than 60 communities across Canada raised about $21.5 million, which goes to helping to determine the genetic causes of breast cancer, seeking innovative ways to detect breast cancer and personalizing prevention and treatment options.
Top fundraisers in Prince George were recognized through several awards, including Determination Award: Evangeline Maitland, Corporate Spirit Award: Shecana International Schools, Women's Team Challenge Award: Northbreast Passage Dragon Boat Team, Friends & Family Team Challenge Award: The Tumorators.
Run for the Cure has been the largest, single-day, volunteer-led national event since 1992 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. For more information visit www.cibcrunforthecure.com.
