The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure could not take place without the support of our caring and community-minded sponsors. It is our privilege to profile CIBC as the event’s Title Sponsor and the full group of National Run for the Cure Sponsors who contribute so much to the success of this event.
CIBC is proud to be in its 15th year as the title sponsor for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure. In 2010, Team CIBC had more than 13,000 participants and volunteers who raised nearly $3 million for the Run through the collection of pledges, fundraising and contributions from the CIBC Pink Collection™.
“Creating a future without breast cancer and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure has become CIBC’s most strongly supported cause,” said David McGown, Vice-President, CIBC Government and Community Relations. “Our employees and their families and friends participate in the Run across the country. We are proud of the 13,000 members of Team CIBC and volunteers who are dedicated to making this event such a tremendous success, and take pride in the more than $26 million raised since 1992.”

CANPAR continues to go above and beyond in its capacity as the Official Courier of the Run. Canpar logistics and shipping services move materials across Canada throughout the year. The Foundation estimates if the volume of boxes shipped were placed side to side and end to end they would readily fill a number of football fields, Canpar’s contribution is integral to the success of the Run.
Trucks decaled with the Run logo are on the road across Canada generating awareness for the Foundation and the Run. Participants will often see Canpar trucks parked on the Run route to help guide participants while Canpar staff continues to volunteer their time to assist with key components of the Run day logistics.
