PRINCE GEORGE — Organizers of this year’s 7th annual Climb for Cancer fundraiser are encouraging people to register early at climbforcancerpg.ca

Those who register by May 15 have a chance to win a dinner for six at Northern Lights Estates Winery or a one-hour limo ride for 10 people.

Top fundraisers for the event will be eligible to win a gift prize pack including gift certificates and a huge gift basket from the winery.

  • Individuals who raise $3,000 will be entered into a draw for the “Gold” prize, which will be worth a minimum of $500.
  • Individuals who raise $1,500 will be entered into a draw for the “Silver” prize, which will be worth a minimum of $250.
  • Individuals who raise $500 will be entered into a draw for the “Bronze” prize, which will be worth a minimum of $100.

“We are excited to be able to offer participants a range of prizes, many of which help support local businesses,” says Doug Bell, Planning Committee Chair. “We hope this added incentive will encourage people to sign up and start fundraising for the Kordyban Lodge as soon as possible.”

To register for the Climb for Cancer as an individual or as part of a team, go to www.climbforcancerpg.ca. Once registered, participants can share the link to their personal or team fundraising page to encourage people to donate. They can also raise cash donations that can be handed in on the day of the climb.

The fundraising goal set for the 7th annual Climb for Cancer is $60,000. All money raised will support the Kordyban Lodge’s operating expenses, which is a not-for-profit organization that serves as a home-away-from-home for cancer patients from the region receiving treatment at the BC Cancer Centre for the North and their families.

The event takes place May 29.
