We are 25toLife
25toLife is a joint project between Kamal Masri's SFU Beedie School of Business Project Management class and the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS).
This project aims to raise funds for cancer research and to support individuals who are affected by this disease while learning project management.
Our goal this year is to raise $25,000 for the CCS by December 2019.
After meeting each other for the first time on September 3, 2019, we decided we would organize seven diverse fundraising events.
Thank you for all of you who are joining our team in the fight for life.
And that is something we can all live for.
