The Ride to Conquer Cancer

Conquer cancer in our lifetime. A dinner-dance was held at Presidente Banquet Hall on Jan. 28, 2011, in support of The Ride to Conquer Cancer, a cycling fundraiser benefiting cancer research. Over 200 people enjoyed a silent auction, cruise giveaway and a night of dancing and entertainment. The event featured the “Tree of Life,” which gave guests the opportunity to place the name of a loved one who has been affected by cancer on the tree. Event hosts Carmine Troiano and Mirella Petriello will be participating in the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer this coming June, with funds raised going to The Campbell Family Institute at The Princess Margaret – one of the five top cancer research centres in the world. www.conquercancer.ca
