The WICC (Women in Insurance Cancer Crusade) has successfully raised $235,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society’s 2025 Relay for Life. This impressive amount was raised through the annual WICC Relay Set Go event, which took place on September 12, 2020.
The WICC Relay Set Go event is a 5km walk or run that aims to raise funds and awareness for cancer research and support programs. This year’s event was held virtually due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but that did not stop participants from showing their support and making a difference.
The event saw over 1,000 participants from the insurance industry and their families, friends, and colleagues come together to support the cause. The virtual event allowed for even more people to participate from different parts of the country, making it a truly national effort.
The funds raised will go towards the Canadian Cancer Society’s 2025 Relay for Life, which aims to raise $25 million by 2025 to support cancer research and provide vital support services for those affected by cancer. The WICC’s contribution will make a significant impact in achieving this goal and making a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer.
The WICC Relay Set Go event has been a long-standing tradition in the insurance industry, with this year marking its 17th year. Over the years, the event has raised over $2.5 million for the Canadian Cancer Society, showcasing the industry’s commitment to giving back to the community and making a positive impact.
The success of this year’s event is a testament to the dedication and generosity of the insurance industry and its partners. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the WICC and its supporters have shown that they are determined to continue their efforts in the fight against cancer.
The WICC Relay Set Go event is just one of the many initiatives undertaken by the WICC to support cancer research and provide support to those affected by cancer. The WICC is a national organization that brings together women from the insurance industry to raise funds and awareness for cancer research and support programs.
In conclusion, the WICC’s Relay Set Go event has once again proven to be a huge success, raising an impressive amount for the Canadian Cancer Society’s 2025 Relay for Life. The event has not only raised funds but has also brought together the insurance industry and its partners to make a positive impact in the fight against cancer. The WICC’s dedication and commitment to this cause are truly commendable, and we look forward to seeing their continued efforts in the future.
