Joining a corporate team for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation's CIBC Run for the Cure provides benefits like team t-shirts, access to team tents and guest speakers at select event sites.

“We got involved with the CIBC Run for the Cure
in 2007 when several of our colleagues were
touched by breast cancer and started a team.
The entire hotel rallied behind them. We’ll always
remember waiting in the pouring rain to accept
our 2011 Corporate Challenge award – the
positive energy, support and spirit broke through
the miserable weather and reminded us of the
important reason we were there.”

Impact of your Fundraising Dollars
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Canadian
women over the age of 20. It is a complex disease that
requires an evidence-based approach and multi-faceted
research that investigates how to reduce the incidence of
breast cancer, how to improve the quality of life for those
living with the disease and how to reduce mortality so that
more women survive the disease.
CBCF’s investments in innovative and relevant research and
education have led to progress in breast cancer prevention,
diagnosis, treatment and care.
Examples of our investments include:
Dr. Wendy Parulekar is part of an international trial test-
ing whether a diabetes drug can help reduce breast cancer
recurrences.
Dr. Jean-Phillipe Pignol discovered a better form of radiation
therapy, which can be done in a one-time, one-hour pro-
cedure rather that five weeks of daily treatment, improving
patients’ quality of life.
Dr. Karen Fergus received a Foundation Fellowship and
went on to receive a research grant to help young couples
cope with the challenges of a breast cancer diagnosis.

The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation
CIBC Run for the Cure is Canada’s largest
single day, volunteer-led fundraising event
dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer
research, education and awareness programs.
It was founded by a small group of volunteers
who wanted to raise awareness and funds
for the breast cancer cause. The CIBC Run
for the Cure has made great strides since
then, while staying true to grassroots and
our volunteer founders’ vision.
