Founded in 1979, the Edward I. Moses Walk/Run for Life has been a leader in raising money for the local fight against cancer. Thanks to the sponsorship of local businesses we are able to reward participants with prizes, goodie bags and t-shirts while still keeping every dollar raised in St. Lawrence County. This event is the primary fundraiser for the St. Lawrence County Cancer Fund which provides funding for programs that work to educate the community and help with the prevention, early detection and diagnosis of cancer for local residents.
To date, the E.I. Moses Walk/Run for Life has raised over $2.8 MILLION, which has been distributed to local charities. In 2011, the fundraising committee responsible for the popular Edward I. Moses event reorganized into the St. Lawrence County Cancer Fund, with the intention of expanding efforts beyond a single annual event, encouraging greater ongoing support from the community. The mission remains the same though: We are and always will be dedicated to the local fight against cancer. The organization is made up of a group of volunteers and prides itself on the fact that ALL proceeds remain in St. Lawrence County to benefit our friends and neighbors and let those who are battling cancer that NO ONE FIGHTS ALONE!!
Many Many thanks,
Your friends at the SLCCF.
