Relay for Life

The 2011 version of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life featured the largest-ever number of insurance industry participants. The relay is a tribute to the lives of loved ones who have been touched by cancer. Teams of 10 people participated in the 12-hour, overnight, non-competitive relay, taking turns walking, running or strolling around a track. In Ontario, more than 785 friends and members of the insurance industry formed teams under the Team WICC banner in 13 different locations. More than 65 teams raised at least 5,000 donations totalling more than $368,000. Relay For Life is now WICC Ontario’s largest fundraising activity.
