The Father’s Day Walk/Run is Back!
For years, we participated in Prostate Cancer Canada’s annual Do It For Dads Father’s Day Walk/Run, where we got half of what we raised to cover our costs of printing, meetings, etc. With the merger of PCC with the Canadian Cancer Society in February of 2020 and the Covid-19 pandemic, this event was cancelled in 2020. Since 2021, a virtual Father’s Day Walk/Run has occurred on Father’s Day. It is being organized by Prostate Cancer Foundation Canada, and the same revenue splitting arrangement is in effect. Half of what our team raises comes back to us to support our programs, and the other half will be used for prostate cancer support throughout Canada, especially in more remote areas away from the major cities.
To support us, go to https://www.thefathersdayrun.ca/ and scroll down to ‘Donate to a Participant’. Choose the ‘2024 Virtual Father’s Day walk Run’. You can enter a team member or the team name, PCSToronto, and select a member or ‘A General Donation to PCS Toronto’. Fill in the form and submit it. You will receive an e-tax-receipt almost immediately. For 2024, the event will be on June 16th. A casual walk is being organized for Ashbridges Bay. Show up in the boat launch parking lot (free until noon) before 10:00 for tailgating (coffee, muffins,…). Then walk the boardwalk. The weather forecast is good (as of June 12th).
While you can donate to us directly, PCSToronto is a non-profit organization, but we are NOT a registered charity and therefore cannot issue tax receipts.
If you want to donate to us directly in spite of not getting a tax receipt, you can send your cheque to:
