Blooms for Breasts

It’s time to think pink!

Thousands of people across Canada laced up their sneakers, dressed in pink and ran for breast cancer this past weekend in the 27th annual CIBC Run for the Cure. This event brings together mothers, daughters, husbands, cousins and best friends who know someone with the disease or knew someone who lost their battle. They all run because they envision a world without breast cancer. 

Bloomex once again donated pink carnations to be handed out to breast cancer survivors at Run sites across Canada. We were so honoured to be there and everyone looked truly beautiful! 

The CIBC Run for the Cure began in 1992, with a small group of volunteers in Toronto’s High Park. Today, it’s the largest single day, volunteer-led event in the support of the breast cancer cause. 

This year, 82,000 Canadians from 56 different communities raised an estimated $16.2 million for breast cancer research and support programs to ensure no one faces breast cancer alone. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Canadian women. The CIBC Run for the Cure provides patients, families and friends the chance to honour loved ones while making a promise to make breast cancer beatable.

Thank you to everyone who came out to show their support and raise money for this meaningful cause. 

The Run always helps kick-off Breast Cancer Awareness month in October. Bloomex has launched a very special Pink Ribbon Collection to help raise money for the cause. Shop the Collection at bloomex.ca.
