St. Elizabeth Terry Fox School Run
On September 23rd our school will be proudly participating in the Terry Fox School Walk/Run. Over 9,000 schools across Canada are taking part in the Run this year and that means that over 3 million students will be fundraising for cancer research in Terry’s name. This is one of our most favourite events of the year – we get to celebrate the life of Terry Fox, his Marathon of Hope and show our incredible school spirit as we come together to help others.
We all know that Terry Fox is one of our greatest Canadian heroes but sometimes we forget how hard his struggle was and why we continue to do the Terry Fox Run every year. Our event this year is an opportunity to take action, show leadership and set examples of compassion and kindness towards others. Students will be staying on school grounds for the run.
Unfortunately, we all probably know someone with cancer, whether it’s a family member or friend, we’re all touched by cancer in some way and now it’s up to us to help them. St. Elizabeth has been a proud supporter of the Terry Fox School Run for 13 years, and we have raised an incredible $51,879.40 for cancer research! Let’s add to our amazing total and continue to carry on Terry’s legacy. Gather family donations, or have your parents make an online contribution through the St. Elizabeth school page at https://schools.terryfox.ca/9207. Donations can also be submitted to the school using Cash Online. If you would like a tax receipt, your donations must be made on the Terry Fox website. We ask to have all donations in no later than Friday, October 7th.
Let’s go Eagles!!!
Thank you for your support on behalf of the staff at St. Elizabeth School.
