The Canadian Cancer Society is looking for local leaders in Barrie, Ontario, to help organize the 2026 CIBC Run for the Cure. This event is known as the largest single-day, volunteer-led fundraiser in Canada for the breast cancer cause.
The run is set to take place on October 4, 2026, and the organization needs a committee of volunteers to lead the planning process. Residents can apply for various leadership roles, including a communications lead, a sponsorship lead, and a lead to manage the experience on the day of the run.
Other available positions include coordinators for volunteer engagement, community outreach, and hope engagement. These volunteers will work together to find local sponsors, manage event marketing, and ensure the run is a success for everyone who participates.
Taking on one of these roles is a direct way for neighbours to support breast cancer research and services for patients in the region. Interested residents can find more information and apply for these positions through the Volunteer Barrie website.
