Why We Relay:
Everyone has been impacted by cancer at least once in their life, whether that’s through a family member, friends, yourself, or just people in our community. Cancer is all around us throughout the world and we relay to show our support for all those suffering with cancer. We relay for those who can’t, we relay to bring awareness, we relay to influence change.
Goals:
- 450 Student Sign Ups (With an Estimated 45 Teams – 10 People Per Team)
- Raise $45,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society (Each Student Will Raise $100 Min)

Important:
Students are not officially registered for the event until both steps are completed.
Fundraising:
WCI Leadership is holding different fundraising weeks and special event days leading up to the big event R4L. These events are used to raise extra money for the Canadian Cancer Society and bring excitement towards R4L. There will be special themed weeks to purchase food outside the Cafe or in the SAC hallway. Other single day lunch time activities will be held in the Cafe for fun incentives for students to enjoy.
