Thank you to our title sponsor Raymond James

Thanks to our title sponsor, Raymond James, 100% of funds raised through this event directly support programs and services offered through Island Prostate Centre; serving men and families facing prostate cancer, right here on Vancouver Island. Once again, they are MATCHING all funds raised, up to $15,000!

We need the support of our community more than ever.

Without government funding, we rely on the power of private donors who are willing to support us through monthly, annual, or one-time giving. We’re more vulnerable than ever coming out of a global pandemic where the demand for our services increased. If you can give, please do. Consider a minimum $20 donation in support of our 20th run!

We know men still need us and we want to ensure that we are here to help!

Need some help with your fundraising? We have you covered!

Trust us, we get that asking people for money is a difficult task. But if you have been impacted by prostate cancer in some way – you or someone you know has been diagnosed – you know how important raising money really is to ensure Island Prostate Centre is there to help!
