Thank You!
We raised $242,000! Thank you to all the teams, donors, sponsors and spectators for making the 2009 Canary Derby such a huge success! The money raised from this year's races will go to support cancer detection research in our communities. We hope you enjoyed being a part of the Canary Derby and look forward to seeing all the racers in 2010!
Thanks to the Committee members, hundreds of volunteers and the event coordinators (Vancouver - Stephanie Price; Victoria - Tami Tate) whom without their amazing efforts this event could not happen.
While the 2009 Canary Derby is over, the need for the early cancer detection research remains. Your support will help make the difference.
