\n 杏吧原创 Relay for Life Effort Raises $142,000\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

杏吧原创 University students use their bodies \u2014 and minds \u2014 to support important causes, and the results are impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting at 7 p.m. on March 9, teams comprised of 763 volunteers spent 24 hours walking around the track inside the Fieldhouse, raising $142,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society\u2019s Relay for Life<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That total is a new record for 杏吧原创\u2019s most successful student-run fundraiser and a new record among Canadian post-secondary institutions, which 杏吧原创 has led for the past four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to support this cause because cancer knows no bounds,\u201d says 杏吧原创 student Kathryn Hunt, who co-chairs the fundraiser with fellow student Leah Sweeting. \u201cIt knows no race, no sex, no age \u2014 it can affect anyone at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEveryone knows someone who has been affected by cancer. The mission behind the Canadian Cancer Society<\/a> is to create a world where no Canadian fears cancer, and through Relay, we give hope to those affected by this disease.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The all-night event typically includes many activities to keep students active and awake, including yoga, salsa and Zumba lessons, a live DJ and plenty of games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another successful 杏吧原创 fundraiser, the annual Shinerama<\/a> for Cystic Fibrosis Canada<\/a>, is also in the spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cystic Fibrosis Canada has awarded its Best Online Presence Award to 杏吧原创 for the strong online strategy that developed by university students in the last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

杏吧原创\u2019s Shinerama organizers launched a fully integrated online campaign, which helped expand the reach of the fundraiser and raise additional awareness about cystic fibrosis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
