You must have at least 10 team members. EACH team member must have EITHER paid a $35 registration fee or raised at least $150 in donations to qualify as a member of your team. Youth are only required to raise $50 or pay the registration fee.

There are only M, XL and XXL shirts. No large. No small. No children sizes :(
The t-shirts are pre shrunk cotton and run like regular women's clothes. I wear a medium
t-shirt and I sign up for a medium Run t-shirt. Since it is early Fall you may want to go with an a larger size up so you can wear another shirt underneath.

If you didn't round up 10 team members, don't fret. Take your proofs of registrations, and donation forms to the Individual Registration days at the Running Room in Kings Place Mall. They will give you a Participant Kit for each person who qualifies. You can then decorate them with your "team" name at home :)

Fredericton's Planning committee would like to remind all participants of the CBCF- CIBC Run for the Cure that while we are invited to enjoy the beautiful grounds of Old Government House, during our event Old Government House will not be open to the public.

This most beautiful, historic home is the private residence of the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick and her Honor. It is also part museum.

We have been very fortunate over the years to have Old Government House as host site of our event and during the past 10 years the event has grown from a few hundred participants to a few thousand. As we get bigger, the committee has to continuously plan for larger crowds ensuring the safety for everyone and at the same time ensuring the grounds are well respected.

In anticipation of thousands attending our event, there will be Security personnel at each entrance of Old Government House. Indoor facilities will be restricted to committee members and bathroom facilities will be available only to those requiring assistance. We will have ample signage directing participants that there will be port a potties on the grounds all day.

Although the House will be closed during our event, we invite you to inquire about participating in the guided tour that is held during the week and on weekends. It is a beautiful home, filled with rare gems and beautiful art pieces on display , a home we highly encourage you to view at your convenience.

Also please note that there are no locked storage areas or change areas (outside of the port a potties) . We will not be responsible for items that are left unattended.

Please pass this along to members of your team and plan accordingly.

The Committee greatly appreciates your dedication and commitment to the CBCF-CIBC Run for the Cure event. We are all looking forward to the day when we can stop running and say that we have found a cure !

We thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.
If you have any questions, please contact one of the Run Directors, Judy Douglas or Rachel Brown at 454-CURE

HOT TIP

Many teams are asking for items to sell. The committee does not have any items however have you tried eBay?

Sometimes there are Pink Ribbon items (beads, fabric, etc) that are listed on eBay.

You could make up a small craft and sell those (a bookmark with a pink ribbon bead).

Tips for Making Bank Deposits

It's never to early to start making deposits! Here are some tips to make your trip to the bank easier:

You can make two separate deposits with each donation sheet. There are two squares for the bank to stamp it. It is the number written in pen inside the bank stamp that counts.

Have your bills and coins organized - all facing the same way and sorted - the way banks like them.

You can make deposits for team members, or you can have team members make their own deposits.

If you have a large deposit, with multiple sheets, add up all the bills and coins and get a total and then add up the donation sheets and make sure you have the same total.

If you have a large deposit - try not to go to the bank at lunch time :)

You can make deposits at any CIBC branch - 448 Queen, Smythe Street (near Burger King), or Nashwaaksis Place.

If you don't want to make a trip to the bank you can Charge all Donations to your Credit Card. See the bottom of the donation form. You can take the money you have raised and apply it to your credit card. In October, once National has received the forms, they will charge an amount to your credit card. ( I guess this doesn't really work if you have received Cheques payable to the Foundation from people)

Make sure your cheques are payable to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, this is written on the bottom of the donation sheet. Verify that the person signed and dated the cheque.

The team captain can pick up t-shirts starting on Thursday, September 28. So you should have all your deposits completed and forms into your team captain by Wednesday, September 27. So your last fundraising event should be no later then Tuesday, September 26 ...Plan Ahead !!

Be patient. The Run for the Cure Committee knows how much time, effort, training and planning the CIBC puts into this event every year. We appreciate how many donation forms the Tellers process each year and we are extremely grateful. We also appreciate the time and efforts contributed by the Team Captains! With a little organization, and patience, things will go smoothly.

See you on Run Day!!
50 days from now.
