Canadian Cancer Society’s fundraising Relay For Life is being backed by Women in Insurance Cancer Crusade (WICC) for a 16th year.
WICC, which has raised $20 million for cancer research to date, is looking to raise $25 million by next year in support of the Canadian Cancer Society’s advocacy.
Amanda Martin, Northbridge Insurance Go director and Relay For Life chair, said: “The insurance industry is more than just policies and premiums; it’s about protecting lives and fostering resilience.
“By participating in Relay for Life, our industry can make a tangible impact in the fight against cancer. Every step taken, every dollar raised, brings us closer to a world where cancer no longer threatens our loved ones. Let’s rally together in support of WICC’s ambitious fundraising goal.”
