CSRO/
ASRO FUNDRAISING PROGRAMS
Shoot For A Cure
The
Shoot For A Cure campaign is a three-pronged campaign of the CSRO
and ASRO. It solicits the support of the hockey, curling and moto-sport
community to reduce the incidence of spinal cord injuries and raise
funds to cure paralysis.
Shoot
For A Cure Hockey
Almost every week during the regular
hockey season a player suffers a serious spinal injury. The Shoot For A Cure
(SFAC) Hockey campaign is a program that aims to incorporate the hockey
community and solicit their support in order to reduce the incidence
of spinal cord injuries in hockey. Shoot For A Cure Hockey also raises
funds for spinal cord injury research that aims to improve the quality
of life for people with spinal cord injuries.
Shoot
For A Cure Curling
Curling is a very popular sport in Canada and one which the CSRO has
been involved in for several years through our annual curling bonspiel.
That is why the CSRO and ASRO have launched the Shoot For A Cure Curling
campaign, which aims to solicit the support of the curling community
to raise awareness about spinal cord injuries in the wider community
and raise funds for research.
Shoot
For A Cure Moto-Sport
Shoot
For A Cure Moto-Sport identifies the relationship between motor vehicle
crashes and spinal cord injuries. Over one half of spinal cord injuries
in Canada are caused by motor vehicle crashes. The Shoot For A Cure
Moto-Sport campaign aims to solicit the automotive and moto-sport
industry’s support in educating society about the importance
of safe driving in the prevention of spinal cord injuries due to
motor vehicle crashes. Shoot For A Cure Moto-Sport also
aims to actively involve the automotive and moto-sport community
in the quest to find a cure for paralysis through targeted fundraising
initiatives.
