Come join volunteers, walkers, runners, and cheerleaders as the Southern Alberta Chapter of the Huntington Society of Canada celebrates our 15th Annual Hope for a Cure Run & Walk in Calgary! This year we are also celebrating with 50th Anniversary of the Huntington Society of Canada. We want to make this event bigger and better than ever!
Our event will be hosted in the beautiful Bowness Park with a huge playground, activities, and games for the whole family, and an online silent auction/raffle table including 2 tickets with Air Canada to fly anywhere in North America (debit/credit available onsite). Bring your friends and family!! If you are unable to join us in person, no worries, you are more than welcome to join us virtually!
This year we will be offering an extensive selection of items through an Online Silent Auction. This will start two weeks before the event and will end during the event. Bidding on items will be possible through your mobile device so you can ensure you can bid throughout the event from your seat! More details to come.
