Become a Sponsor
Support kids living with and
beyond cancer - do something!
Becoming a Corporate Sponsor demonstrates to your local business community, your customers and your suppliers a commitment to a meaningful and caring purpose and its positive, far-reaching impact on children and their families.Along with Sears Canada, the ride is organized by the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to creating a series of high quality, physically challenging fundraising events that raise money and awareness for families and children affected by cancer. Leading by example, the Foundation’s principles are to inspire volunteerism and wellness to help raise needed funding for childhood cancer charities across Canada. The Foundation does not use professional fundraisers, inspires a high degree of volunteerism and through the support of corporate sponsors to cover event costs, is committed to direct 100% of the donations from individual Canadians directly to the charities we support. Working in partnership with Corporate Sponsors, Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation is committed to developing a sponsorship package that maximizes your overall sponsorship value, and responds to your specific goals and values.
