Throughout the last two months, the Union participated in an assortment of fundraisers both on game day and beyond to help the surrounding community in the fight against cancer. The Union raised funds and awareness for two cancer campaigns; Pediatric Cancer Awareness in September and Breast Cancer Awareness in October.
The fundraising for Pediatric Cancer Awareness began September 1st with Alex’s Million Mile, an initiative where a team compiled of Union First Team members and Union front office staff collectively tried to walk/run/swim/bike a million miles in one month.
In addition to Alex’s Million Mile, the team also participated in other events throughout the month of September including:
- Pediatric Cancer Awareness Night on September 10th vs Montreal Impact
- Alex’s Lemonade Stand on the plaza was run by families who were impacted by cancer.
