Hamilton AM club members welcomed 3 outstanding citizens; Nancy McMillan, Kathie Ward and Lee Prokaska who spoke of their personal involvement in Hamilton's Bright Run, a significant local cancer fundraising annual event. Bright Run is a non-competitive, family-friendly 1 km/5 km walk or run held at Christie Lake Conservation Area on the first Saturday after Labour Day
The Bright Run is a volunteer led event that has raised more than $5.5 million since its inception in 2008 to fund local breast care research at the Juravinski Cancer Centre and McMaster University. Each of our guests shared their personal story and their path to becoming integral to the Bright Run operation.
In recognition of this tremendous example of volunteer leadership, Lee Prokaska and Kathie Ward were given Paul Harris Awards by the Hamilton AM club with Nancy to receive hers at the August 9, Starry Night fundraiser.
