Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life

This year’s Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life featured the largest-ever number of insurance industry participants. The relay celebrates survival and is a tribute to the lives of loved ones who have been touched by cancer. In June, teams of 10 people participated in a 12-hour, overnight, non-competitive relay, taking turns walking, running or strolling around a track. More than 500 friends and members of the insurance industry formed teams under the Team WICC banner in well over 20 different locations across the country. WICC’s headquarters for the event were located at Esther Shiner Stadium in North York, Ontario. Approximately 300 participants at this location raised more than Cdn$200,000 in pledges and corporate sponsorships on June 25. WICC Ontario presented a cheque for Cdn$200,000 to the Canadian Cancer Society at the North York Relay.
