Terry Fox Run 2026
We're Running for Terry!
On Thursday, September 24, St. Brendan students and staff will participate in our annual Terry Fox School Run, celebrating Terry's courage, determination, and legacy of hope.
This year, our school fundraising goal is $1,000, and we invite all families to help us reach it! Donations support the Terry Fox Foundation and cancer research across Canada.
Families can make online donations through our school fundraising page:

Donations will be accepted until October 31, so there is plenty of time to support this important cause.
Thank you for helping our students continue Terry's dream of a world without cancer. Together, we can make a difference!
"One day, there won't be a schoolyard in Canada that doesn't take part in the Terry Fox Run." – Terry Fox
