More than 300 students from seven universities across southern Ontario recently gathered at the Invista Centre in Kingston to play hockey and fight cancer as part of the Commerce Classic tournament. The annual event is hosted by Cure Cancer Classic, a student-run club in the Commerce Society at Smith School of Business at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. The tournament set a new fundraising record this year, securing $118,000 after a matching donation. This brings the total funds raised by the club to more than $2 million since its founding in 2005.

In addition to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, teams at the tournament came from Brock 카지노게임사이트, the 카지노게임사이트 of Guelph, Toronto Metropolitan 카지노게임사이트, the 카지노게임사이트 of Toronto, Western 카지노게임사이트, and Wilfrid Laurier 카지노게임사이트. There were 12 men카지노 게임 컬렉션s teams and five women카지노 게임 컬렉션s teams.

카지노 게임 컬렉션This year we had more schools and more teams taking part in the Commerce Classic than ever,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Ben Schwartz, co-chair of Cure Cancer Classic and fourth-year commerce student. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Our club has grown significantly since it was founded twenty years ago, and we want to keep growing so we can make as large an impact as possible on cancer research and care. Almost everyone has been affected by cancer in some way, and students at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and across Ontario want to step up and fight for the cause.카지노 게임 컬렉션

The students are donating to the Canadian Cancer Society and have designated the funds to go to the , an academic cooperative oncology group at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s that designs and conducts clinical trials testing cancer therapy, supportive care, and prevention interventions across Canada. The group is based in the Sinclair Cancer Research Institute at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, and many Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s faculty members are involved with CCTG as investigators and scientific leaders.

카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s great to see Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s students and students across Ontario show so much passion for raising money for cancer research,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Janet Dancey, director of CCTG and professor in the Department of Oncology at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The funds raised for CCTG provide support for clinical trials testing the cancer treatments of the future.

Each of the 17 teams in the tournament raised funds to contribute towards the total, and Cure Cancer Classic gave prizes, like new hockey sticks and gift cards, to the top fundraisers.

Now the Cure Cancer Classic executive team is devoting their attention to preparing for the Commerce-Engineering Rivalry Game, which will be played in the Slush Puppie Place in downtown Kingston on March 13. In 2024 the rivalry game raised $340,000, bringing the club카지노 게임 컬렉션s fundraising total for that academic year to more than $600,000.

카지노 게임 컬렉션This is our marquee event each year, as it typically has more than 4,000 spectators and raises the most money of all our events,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Kate Fitzpatrick, co-chair of Cure Cancer Classic and fourth-year commerce student. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Since this is the twentieth anniversary of Cure Cancer Classic, we really want it to be a celebration that is an inspiration to others. Our club started off as an idea by a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s student and has gone on to have real impact. We want others to see how much people can accomplish when they come together and fight for something bigger than themselves.카지노 게임 컬렉션
