Norah Rae knows first hand the devastating impact that cancer can have. Rae, a steward at Rexall Pharmacy in Guelph, has seen both her husband and her sister-in-law suffer. That’s why when Rae got a chance to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada, she jumped right in.
Rae raised more than $900, making her the top fundraiser at the Annual Ride for a Cure event. The event, co-hosted by Local 1000A and Local 175 & 633, drew 37 riders and generated more than $10,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.
Local 1000A’s Southwestern Retail Franchise Division has a lot to celebrate after raising nearly $540 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.
“I was overwhelmed by the money we raised,” said Kevin Bacon, President of the Southwestern Retail Franchise Division and a servicing staff representative with Local 1000A. “Thank you to our stewards and activists who agreed to sell tickets at their locations and a big thank you to our members for supporting this worthy cause.”

UFCW Canada Local 1000A is proud to congratulate the Ottawa Retail Franchise Division for its hard work and dedication in raising $1,320 in the fight against Leukemia & Lymphoma.
The division undertook multiple initiatives last year, including a TV raffle, book sales, and a bake sale to fundraise for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada. “All in all, we are very pleased and happy with everyone who participated in all these initiatives,” said Gord Knowles, President of the Ottawa Retail Franchise Division. “Without their support, we wouldn’t have been able to do what we did.”
