AURORA, Ontario, June 12, 2017 – Magna employees transitioned from the office to the roads of Ontario on June 10-11 to raise money for cancer research during the 2017 Ride to Conquer Cancer, a two-day, 200- kilometre bike trek from Toronto to Niagara Falls to support The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.
Throughout the first-half of the year, riders collected donations on their own prior to the ride. Magna matched the contributions through its Magna Matching Program, a program designed to enhance employee-led initiatives that support social and charitable causes. In addition, a number of Magna’s business partners demonstrated their support of the cycling team’s efforts, with 100% of their funds going directly to The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. This year’s efforts raised a total of nearly $177,000, exceeding a goal set by the riders of doubling the amount from last year’s ride.

“Magna is proud to help contribute to this terrific event and match funds collected for The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre,” said Marc Neeb, Chief Human Resource Officer at Magna International. “I see the dedication of our employees who take on this grueling challenge and I applaud them for their efforts and determination to raise not only money but the continued awareness of a great cause.”
The Ride to Conquer Cancer has raised more than $155 million since 2008. Magna previously contributed $20,000 to the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre at the 2016 Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer event alongside BASF Canada.
