As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, we are all experiencing uncertain times. In light of the current situation, in consultation with our partners and the FTEC Fight Team, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the Fight To End Cancer for 2020.
This decision has been made in the best interest of our teams, sponsors and global community. Working closely with the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, our event’s beneficiary, we continue to follow the World Health Organization (WHO), Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and University Health Network guidelines relating to COVID-19.
Affected Events:
- All Ambassador Events: Various Events | View Listing
- Pound-For-Pound: Steam Gallery: scheduled for April 6, 2020
- Official Media Day Weigh-Ins: scheduled for May 21, 2020
- FTEC2020 Fight To End Cancer Gala: scheduled for May 30, 2020
We are working to reestablish dates for and will be in touch with all event partners, sponsors and attendees when new dates have been identified.
Even in these uncertain times, one thing that will not change is our commitment to Ending Cancer in our Lifetime and as always we thank you for partnering with us in our mission.
In the meantime, take care of yourself, each other and always remember:
Defeat Is NOT An Option!
With love, appreciation and support,
