Since 1992, The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure is Canada’s largest single day, volunteer-led fundraising event dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer research, and education and awareness programs.

Each year, thousands of Canadians of all ages and from all walks of life unite to participate in the Run. Their reasons for participating vary, but they all have the same goal; to create a future without breast cancer.

On Sunday, October 3, 2010, Run, Walk and Give Generously.

Our customer’s your loyalty is helping make a difference in the lives of women and their families affected by breast cancer.

The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is Canada’s leading health charity dedicated to creating a future without breast cancer.  The Foundation’s investments have contributed significantly to advances in prevention, early diagnosis, more effective treatments and improving i the quality of life for those living with breast cancer.  The current five year relative survival rate for women in Canada is 87 per cent. Breast cancer has come a long way but there is still much to be done, an estimated one in nine Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime (if she lives to age 90). Yet, there continues to be great hope and advancements to address this disease and Wonderbra is proud of continue to play a part in that hopeful vision.

After last year’s hugely successful campaign, the WonderBra brand is extremely proud to once again partner with 107.3 RockDétente on the Osez le donner ! fundraiser. The goal is to raise $100,000 for a cause that’s close to the hearts of many women: breast cancer and to collect 100,000 bras for an exhibit.

This year, the WonderBra brand will pay $1 for each bra donated to the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation to reach the $100,000 goal. Last year, RockDétente listeners and the WonderBra brand were able to raise $80,000 for the Foundation. Radio host and TV personality André Robitaille kicked off the drive on April 23 at Place Ville Marie.

The WonderBra brand asks that you dig through your drawers for some donation material, and more importantly, that you get your friends, family and co-workers involved. Simply deliver your bras to one of the drop-off points.

For more information on dates and drop-off points, please visit rockdetente.com/osez, where you’ll find highlights of the 2008 fundraiser. This year, Osez le donner ! is also on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Donating a bra is easy as 1-2-3. In this case, it’s also a show of support to those who are fighting breast cancer, not to mention their loved ones. The Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation bra drive is perhaps the WonderBra brand’s most inspiring joint endeavor. We hope it inspires you to care and share too.

The mission of the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation is to fund breast cancer research, promote healthy breasts through education and awareness, and support those who have been affected by breast cancer.
