The CIBC Charles-Bruneau Tour is on its way to becoming one of the largest fundraising activities in Quebec. Thanks to its major partners and the commitment of its many participants, the event has generated more than $5,343,000 since 1995. Last year, the CIBC Charles-Bruneau Tour exceeded its objective by raising the incredible sum of $1,650,000. Buoyed by their success, organizers intend step up their efforts to meet the ever-growing priorities of the Centre de cancérologie Charles-Bruneau at CHU Sainte-Justine.

Children with cancer will serve as spokespersons for the event. This “pairing based on caring” concept makes it possible to share stories of courage with the community – stories that speak to the importance of investing in research on pediatric cancer with the ultimate objective of finding a cure.
