June 9, 2018 (Winnipeg, MB) – Paterson GlobalFoods (PGF) was the presenting sponsor for this year’s Challenge for Life Walk in support of the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation. This year, PGF’s company contribution totaled well over $130,000.  PGF has been a Challenge For Life sponsor since its inception in 2007 and has donated more than $700,000 over the past ten years.

“Paterson GlobalFoods is honored to be the presenting sponsor of this most important event since its inception, which brings so much hope to those suffering with this terrible disease,” said Andrew Paterson, President and CEO of Paterson GlobalFoods.

 

Challenge for Life

Challenge for Life is a powerful annual event where hundreds of Manitobans come together to raise funds for a serious cause. Participants commit to raising $500 for CancerCare Manitoba while taking an active role in maintaining their physical health and reducing their personal cancer risks. Participants can “walk it” for 20 kilometers beginning and ending in Assiniboine Park or they can “work it” by taking part in 200 non-continuous minutes of aerobic workouts.

Since its inception in 2008, nearly $10 million has been raised. All proceeds stay in Manitoba to support prevention, early detection, state-of-the-art research, world-class treatment, and patient support at CancerCare Manitoba.
