“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 $23 million raised since 1992.”

New Balance Canada is concerted in its support of the Foundation’s fundraising strategies. The New Balance Women’s Team Challenge Award rewards and helps drive the top women’s fundraising teams across the country. The Run Rewards program once again included the much coveted New Balance 760 women’s running shoe with the Foundation’s ribbon. In addition, the top fundraisers and the male and female Run participants who achieve 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishes at each site received prizing courtesy of New Balance.
“New Balance proudly supports the Foundation and their fundraising efforts. Year over year our team is inspired by the courage and hope demonstrated on Run day by participants and survivors alike.” Team New Balance

The 10-week Survivor Clinics, co-sponsored by New Balance and the Running Room, provide a safe and communal environment for those affected by breast cancer to train and prepare for their 1km or 5km walk or run.

The Foundation also benefits from the New Balance Lace Up for the Cure program which designates proceeds from the sale of a group of its athletic shoes and accessories to further support the Foundation’s vision of the creating a future without breast cancer.

THE RUNNING ROOM CANADA INC has been a proud supporter of the Foundation since the Run’s inception in 1991.

The ongoing promotion of the Run through Running Room’s magazine, electronic communications and in-store activities across the country, has allowed Team Running Room to increase their fundraising efforts and awareness of the cause.

The Running Room collaborates with New Balance to host special running clinics for breast cancer survivors, providing an opportunity for networking with those faced with similar challenges in their health, while training for their 1K or 5K run.

“Together, all of us strive to cross the finish line and do something positive about breast cancer. We hope on Run day that participants dedicated their efforts to the special person touching their lives.” John Stanton and the Running Room Team

An important component of the Running Rooms support is the donation that they provide from the sale of all Pink Ribbon products produced by the Running Room. Every time a customer makes a purchase 'Running Room branded Pink Ribbon Product' from your local Running Room or through the On-line Shop, a portion of the sale is donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

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.

“Canpar and its employees are proud of its 10 years and over $1 million in support of the Run, and the breast cancer cause. We hope our efforts will help the Foundation in their vision of creating a future without breast cancer.” Team Canpar
