社区集会支持Carman Curl for Cancer冰壶赛

年度Carman Curl for Cancer活动吸引了社区强大支持,为本地癌症项目筹集超过3.5万美元。该活动于11月第一个周末举行,全天冰壶赛面向所有年龄段,随后有餐食、嘉宾演讲和音乐。资金分配给Cancer Care Manitoba、Carman Palliative Care和South Central Cancer Resource。

Carman Curl for Cancer冰壶赛已举办超过30年,凭借本地参与而蓬勃发展。由12或13名成员组成的董事会组织该活动,通常在11月第一个周末举行。今年,参与者享受全天面向所有年龄的冰壶环节,以集体用餐、鼓舞人心的嘉宾演讲和现场音乐结束。 Brady McGillivary于2019年加入董事会,并于2025年开始与Jay Bryson共同主持,他强调了活动的强劲募捐努力。“我们举办无声拍卖,也为无法到场的人开设在线拍卖,”他说。“社区及周边地区捐赠的物品和奖品数不胜数,令人难以置信。我们将一些大件物品放在在线拍卖上,以吸引更多观众。” 该举措大获成功,筹集超过3.5万美元。Cancer Care Manitoba获得1.5万美元,而Carman Palliative Care和South Central Cancer Resource(SCCR)各获超过1万美元。SCCR财务主席Jack Pethybridge强调长期影响:“每年不仅有他们的捐赠,而且Curl for Cancer活动总有演讲者讲述癌症经历,让大家了解治疗过程的艰辛。” 今年演讲者是来自附近Roseisle的20岁Peyton Bourgeois,她分享了个人故事。她是曼尼托巴首位被诊断为罕见癌症的女性,也是首位接受特定化疗后进行干细胞移植的患者。McGillivary指出:“我们通常邀请幸存者、癌症患者家属、正在抗癌的人以及提高意识的发言人。” 活动的持久性源于代际参与。McGillivary解释:“对我们董事会许多人来说,这是父母辈的事业,他们传下了火炬。这已成为社区长期传统。”捐赠资金留在本地,用于紧急需求如交通项目,Pethybridge补充:“30多年来持续支持令人惊叹,我们非常感激。未来还将持续很长时间。”
