“Together we can conquer cancer”
September 3, 2015 · 0 Comments
Employees of the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Shelburne branch, will take part in ‘One Walk To Conquer Cancer’, presented by Shoppers Drug Mart, on September 12th.
The 25km Walk benefits Princess Margaret Hospital Cancer Centre, and provides funding for research and support for all cancers.
Thousands of people take part in this year’s Walk, with every dollar raised directly impacting the lives of people with cancer, their families – and those yet to be diagnosed.
This Friday, Sept. 4th the branch will host a huge Bake Sale in support of their team fundraising efforts.
For more information, or to make a donation, drop by the RBC branch on Owen Sound Street, or visit onewalk.ca and click ‘Donate’ on the upper right-hand of the page.
Please give generously, and remember, together we can conquer cancer in our lifetime.
