Hi all,

Not sure how widely the word has gotten out but there is again free entry up for grabs for the Victoria festival in 2015 for the top BC Cancer Foundation fundraising team. 
All teams that participate will enter in to a draw to receive 50% off their 2015 entry.  That's potentially a good chunk off your season fees!

On top of that there are individual fundraising prizes too.

Money this year is going to help set up clinical immunotherapy trials where tumours will be taken from patients, the DNA examined and vaccines created toward mutations in the DNA to prime the patient's own immune system to attack any recurrences.

To sign your team up go here...

or pledge a team that's already fundraising.

Your team doesn't have to be local to participate and the funds go toward something that could benefit all of us!  :)

Hi guys,

Only a short time left to get your team in on the draw for 50% off your 2015 Victoria Festival entry!

If you're not into fundraising, please consider pledging one of the teams or paddlers participating (or join us next year, would be great to have more teams involved and it's really easy to set up!).

All money raised goes to the BC Cancer Foundation to help fund the start up of immunotherapy trials at the BC Cancer Agency.  The work is a collaboration between researchers in Victoria and Vancouver.

To start a team, pledge a team or pledge a paddler, please go here:

We've raised about $25,874 so far this year, would be great if we could get to $30K between all the teams by the festival this weekend.  That's not much more when you consider all the paddlers participating in this race - perhaps a couple bucks a paddler?

Thanks,
Katy
