Rather than do this as an individual goal, we have issued a challenge to all our divisions to create a GWC Services "national corporate team". And they LOVE the idea!
Run for the Cure.
The CIBC Run for the Cure is a 5k or 1k walk or run that raises funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. It is the largest single-day, volunteer-led event in Canada in support of the breast cancer cause. This year, the 20th annual event takes place on Sunday, October 2, 2011 in 60 locations across Canada.
Join our team.
Join us in the fight against breast cancer. Run or walk with us at any of our locations across Canada in the CIBC Run for the Cure on October 2, 2011. You’ll find us at www.runforthecure.com/gwcservices.
