The Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life

The insurance industry came out in droves for The Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life. The relay is a celebration of survival and 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 400 friends and members of the insurance industry formed teams under the Team WICC banner in 17 different locations across the country. WICC’s headquarters for the event was located at Esther Shiner Stadium in North York, Ontario. Approximately 200 participants at this location raised more than

Cdn$140,000 in pledges and corporate sponsorships. WICC Ontario presented a cheque for Cdn$180,000 to the Canadian Cancer Society at the North York Relay.
