U of T wins second Post-Secondary Challenge
Rainy weather on the day of CIBC’s 2011 Run for the Cure didn’t stop University of Toronto participants from having fun; nor did it stop them from raising the most money for breast cancer research of any university community across Canada.
U of T’s fundraising success led to a trophy presentation Feb. 28 for the winners of the run’s second Post-Secondary Challenge, a title the university also won in the inaugural year of the competition. In 2011, 605 U of T race participants on 38 teams raised more than $80,000 for breast cancer research. The university hosted runs on both its St. George and Mississauga campuses.
