On Thursday, June 9th, 2022, Korah Collegiate will host its 9th Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life event. It will be a wonderful celebration of survival, a tribute to the lives of loved ones lost and those still fighting the disease, as well as a night of fun, friendship, and fundraising to beat cancer. June 2019 marked a significant milestone for Korah as we eclipsed raising $30 000 for the year and surpassed $130 000 mark in donations since our initial involvement. The event will be held on the school track from 7 pm to 7 am, starting with Opening Ceremonies and a Survivors’ Victory Lap. An inspiring Luminary Ceremony occurred shortly after dusk and will honour loved ones who have survived cancer, are currently battling cancer or who have succumbed to the disease. Fun events during the twelve hour relay included an open air concert, 4 corner volleyball games, basketball games, and contests and games between teams.
This year we hope to have over 200 participants and 50 student and teacher volunteers are involved in this overnight non-competitive relay. Teams consisted of Korah students, teachers and staff, as well as cancer survivors. This event was supported by many donations from local businesses, who made donations of equipment, money and prizes. Our sincere thanks go out to those sponsors who helped make this event happen and the City of Sault Ste Marie for their support.
To date Korah students have raised over $130,000 towards the Relay for Life Campaign since it's first Relay in 2011.
Our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in our event who helped raise funds enabling the Canadian Cancer Society to help find a cure for cancer!
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE ON JUNE 9th, 2022.
