Vaughan in Motion is a  100% volunteer - staffed, not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting all cancer patients and their families who live in our community by raising vital funds for local programs aimed at prevention, early detection, and treatment of  cancers. Since it's inception, Vaughan In Motion has donated over $650,000 to the local chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society. In 2009, Vaughan in Motion partnered with the Vaughan Health Care Foundation to raise funds towards health care programs and equipment  directly aimed at prevention, early detection and treatment of cancers, as part of Vaughan's Future Hospital. All monies raised by VIM are held in trust earmarked specifically for cancer care. In it's inaugural year partnering with the VHCF, Vaughan In Motion donated $81,000 dollars. In 2010, VIM donated $93,000, thanks to the incredible support of our Corporate community and all of our supporters. With your help, we have raised an incredible $824,000 dollars towards cancer care in our community.   In 1997 a 5 km "Family Walk" was organized by the Knights of Columbus of Maple following the tragic news that a fellow Knight was diagnosed with cancer. This event, spearheaded by Co-Founders Peter Badali and Dr. Greg D'Orio, was eventually named the Great Ride and Stride and became an annual event. In 2005 the walk was renamed Vaughan In Motion Walk to Cure Cancer and moved indoors at Vaughan Mills. This walk has become our signature event which has attracted walkers across Southern Ontario. Vaughan in Motion is a 100% volunteer - staffed, not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting all cancer patients and their families who live in our community by raising vital funds for local programs aimed at prevention, early detection, and reatment of cancers. Vaughan in Motion has partnered with the Vaughan Health Care Foundation in 2009 to raise funds towards health care programs and equipment directly aimed at prevention, early detection and treatment of cancers, as part of Vaughan's Future Hospital. Hospital service provision is now currently being planned for Vaughan, and funds raised by VIM will be held in trust geared specifically at helping cancer patients in our community. This new initiative and partnership will allow Vaughan In Motion to control where and how our donated dollars will be spent and where they will be allocated.  OUR EVENTS  Gala To Cure Cancer: The Gala To Cure Cancer is an annual event held the last Friday in March.  This is an evening where we honour cancer survivors and pay tribute to our wonderful supporting sponsors –for without them, this event would not be possible.
