Play for the Cure
We are asking all of the South Island Recreation Division teams from the U11 through U18...
"Who do you play for?"
As many of you already know, undergoing cancer treatment is a grueling marathon that tests a person's limits physically, mentally, and spiritually. Adding to this already overwhelming experience are the significant logistical and financial challenges that many people and their families are now faced with.
The idea behind The Play for the Cure Initiative is a chance for all of us to help our friends and families as they work their way through their treatment. Funds raised will go towards the Beyond Barriers Patient Relief Fund at the BC Cancer Foundation.
Here is our challenge to you...
From now until the beginning of Spring Break, we are inviting teams to raise money towards this initiative. The teams that raised the most will be eligible to win prizes including:
Tickets to a VANCOUVER CANUCKS game for the whole team
Additionally, the 2 teams from each South Island Recreation Division (U11, U13, U15 and U18) that raise the most money will win a chance to play in an exhibition game on the afternoon of Saturday, March 30th.

BC Cancer Foundation
We are the fundraising partner of BC Cancer. Our purpose is to be a catalyst, powering world class innovation while supporting deeply personal cancer journeys.
Every dollar we raise advances care across BC Cancer’s six world-class centers and research programs.
Our donors fuel hope for the 80,000 patients per year who depend on BC Cancer.
Home to some of the world’s top ranked scientific minds, BC Cancer is a place where remarkable advancements happen. We…
- Developed an advanced form of radiation therapy now used world-wide
- Discovered and deployed the first effective prevention strategy for ovarian cancer
- Were the first cancer centre to effectively treat a patient based on DNA of their cancer
- Proved cancer evolves over time and in response to treatment
- Launched Canada’s first population based lung cancer screening program
We know that one in two people in our province will face cancer in their lifetime and we’re igniting progress to break down cancer, piece by piece, in the labs and clinics.
The progress is real.
We are actively working with our donors and communities across B.C. to inspire investment in BC Cancer and our provincial teams of world-leading researchers, oncologists and care providers.
Cancer is relentless. But so are we. We Won’t Stop.
