WARM HEARTS & COLD NOSES AT 19TH ANNUAL GIRLS FOR THE CURE
By Jennifer Pawluk, Communications Specialist
Established in 2001, Girls for the Cure occurs annually during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, encouraging support for women living with cancer. Students, staff, and alumnae of Balmoral Hall School, along with their families, have committed to this cause wholeheartedly throughout its 19-year history, raising more than $440,000 for CancerCare Manitoba Foundation.
On October 10, 2019, despite the incoming winter storm, participants dressed in pink convened in Richardson Hall Athletic Centre, departed on a brisk community walk to Armstrong's Point, and then returned to campus for hot chocolate before the cheque presentation to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation. We would like to thank Chemo Savvy, Mulvey School, Quintex Services, and Dana Hospitality for their continued support of Girls for the Cure year after year. Over the past two years, the school community has raised $30,000 in support of the annual Guardian Angel Benefit for Women’s Cancer, at which Balmoral Hall School received The Great-West Life Award of Distinction last year.
