Terry Fox - Thursday September 26th



On Thursday September 26th, CJP students and staff will be participating in the Terry Fox run. Our class runs at 2:55 and families are welcome to join while we run or walk, or just come to cheer us on. Please bring appropriate outdoor shoes, a water bottle and clothing for the weather that day. 

Please bring in a donation of “A Toonie for Terry”. Every child who brings in a donation will have their name entered in a draw to win a Terry Fox t-shirt. The draw will take place before the morning run, so the winning child can wear their Terry Fox t-shirt during the run if they want to. 

Students who donate $10 can participate in “Fashion for Fox”. For every $10 (or more) donation a child can bring an item of clothing to dress their teacher. Teachers will wear the item while participating in the Terry Fox run. (No masks or anything else that will make it dangerous or difficult to run). 

If, students and families would like to donate to the Terry Fox Foundation they can  in the following ways:

  • by contributing online by visiting http://www.terryfox.ca/captainjohnpalliser
    Tax receipts will be issued by the Terry Fox Foundation for on-line and cheque donations over $20.00 . 
  • by sending cash or cheque (made payable to The Terry Fox Foundation) to school.   
All monies raised at the school through our event will be forwarded to the Foundation to further the cause of cancer research.  The deadline for donation is October 1, 2019.
