30 Minute Hit makes a difference in the lives of thousands of women. Through their ‘30 Minute Hit Kicks the *&%! Out of Cancer’ fundraiser, co-founders Deanna & Jackson Loychuk invited those same women to give back – and giving back was exactly what those women did! “We knew this one-of-a-kind event would inspire, empower, and touch everyone involved,” says Deanna, “but would also – more importantly – raise a lot of money for a very worthy cause.” Throughout the fundraiser, all 30 Minute Hit members were invited to kick the *&%! out of women’s cancers and fight for their mother, sister, aunt, cousin, grandmother or friend. With every jab, cross, front kick and uppercut on BOB (Body Opponent Bag), 30 Minute Hit members helped the efforts to uncover the cure for women’s cancers by raising money based on how many times they completed the 30 Minute Hit circuit. Not only did they sweat, burn, learn and smile their way to results they never thought possible, they challenged and motivated themselves by fighting for thousands of women battling cancer in Canada. Once all was said and done, over $54,000 was raised to support breast and ovarian cancer research.


Jim Wohlford turned his life’s passion into a fundraising tournament:
“Wohlford's Beach Volleyball for Cancer tournament originally started as a celebration for my family and friends while I was going through treatment for esophageal cancer in 2009. Volleyball is my passion and I promised myself that I had to play with every ounce of energy I had during treatment. Some days it was all that got me through. Trust me when I say that it wasn't easy. But I found that getting my mind off my treatments, socializing with friends and playing the sport I've loved for the last 25 years is what got me through it. Why should I wait, why should anyone wait. Lives change, passions change, circumstances change. Why wait?”
“Cancer has touched the lives of so many. Without the support of the BC Cancer Foundation, mine may not have been the success story it is today. My one year cancer free was on March 12, 2011 and with the tournament growing each year, I can only hope that we will one day find a cure.”


In conjunction with their one year anniversary, C:EHKO Hair Concepts hosted ‘In memory of…’ at Terracotta Modern Chinese Restaurant in Gastown. ‘In memory of…’ is a fundraiser in support of cancer research at the BC Cancer Foundation. This cause is near and dear to one of the co-founders of C:EHKO Hair Concepts, Farshad Shafiekhani, as his father-in-law fell victim to the disease amidst the salon’s grand opening the previous year. In turn, C:EHKO Hair Concepts decided to hold a fundraiser to not only support cancer research in BC, but also to celebrate the memories of those who have lost the battle to cancer and honour those who are currently living with the disease. The evening included red carpet treatment upon arrival, a cupcake tower with scrumptious treats, a silent auction consisting of an assortment of donated items and plenty of mixing and mingling amongst the guests while the DJ exchanged musical entertainment with a live performance by The Stumblers Inn. Family, friends, colleagues and connections came out in strong support at this exciting event, to the generous tune of over $5,300. Photo provided by Marvin Vasquez Photography
