The fifth annual Slopes for Hope Kimberley event is postponed until next year.

Due to variables that are beyond our control we have experienced a sharp decrease in our enrollment and donations. Unfortunately, we are the second Slopes for Hope event in the province that has had to postpone the event.

One thing we do know is that cancer patients and their families do rely on the services that our fundraising event supports. Not reaching our fundraising target for this event means that many will be affected and may not have access to the services these funds support in our communities.

Slopes for Hope itself is a fun way to support the Canadian Cancer Society; however, the real impact you make is in the funds you help raise that translate into saving lives and supporting those on a cancer journey.

For this reason we very much hope that our registered participants continue to reach out to their networks over the year and do their best to help meet our fundraising target for this event that is postponed until 2016. The website will remain open and tax receipts will be issued for donations of $25 or more made online at slopesforhope.ca.

Thank you so much for your understanding with this unfortunate turn of events. If you have any questions please connect with Liana Shaw, Event Chair, Slopes for Hope Kimberley at 250-432-5012.

Liana Shaw,

Slopes for Hope Kimberley
