Your union invites you to participate in an exciting fundraising initiative to help find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and other blood cancers.
This year, Local 1000A has registered as a team and will participate in four Light the Night Walks in North Bay, Ottawa, Toronto and London. Fundraising from team members helps blood cancer patients live longer and funds lifesaving research.
Team members will carry lanterns symbolizing light in the dark world of cancer. Patients and survivors will carry white lanterns, supporters will carry red lanterns and those who have lost loved ones will carry goldlanterns.
All donations will go towards to Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and are completely tax-deductible.Your union is encouraging all those who are interested to register as a team member and join the UFCW Canada Local 1000A team for the walk scheduled closest to you.
As a registered member of the team, you will be able to set up your own “fundraising” page and encourage friends and family to donate on your behalf.
