The RBC Royal Bank is sponsoring a run/walk fundraiser in Grand Cayman to benefit the RBC Children’s Cancer Fund.
The run is on 29 September starting at 6.30am and the walk will follow at 6.45am from the RBC Royal Bank House at No.24 Shedden Road in George Town. RBC invites community members to join its employees to raise funds for this important cause.
“Pediatric cancer is a terrible disease and families often need financial support when their children are treated,” said Jason Waters, Area Vice President, Retail Banking, Cayman Islands. “Through these fundraising events across the Caribbean, our goal is to raise substantial funds to support this important cause.”
Although only in its third year, the Children’s Cancer Fund has already assisted children in four countries across the region. It has also provided support for foreign testing of biopsy samples, which results in quicker diagnosis and earlier treatment of cancer when identified.
“The fund has made a major difference in the lives of the families helped,” said Waters. “We look forward to the participation of many clients, employees and community members in order to raise funds and awareness for this important cause.”
The cost to run or walk in the event is $25 for adults and free for children under 12. The registration fee includes a T-Shirt for the first 200 participants, random prize drawing for spot prizes and a prize for the top three runners.
To register, simply complete a registration form available at any RBC Royal Bank Branch. Donations are also gratefully accepted.
