Our Joe Runza Memorial Skate-a-thon that took place on Dec 11th 2025 was a great success raising $ 15,000 for Cancer Patient Cancer Care at Michael Garron Hospital (MGH). Our annual Skate-a-thon (named after Joe Runza in 2024) has over 8 years raised over $ 103,0000 for cancer patient care at MGH and $17,500 for our Toronto East Rotary foundation to help support other vital community programs.

We thank our generous donors for contributing to this important fundraiser!

We also wish to thank skater's Justin, Jackson, and Ava Kostka and Terry Runza and the entire Runza family for their support.

Finally, we wish to thank the Rotary team involved with the event which includes, Karen Somerville, Mike Phelan, Jeff Harrison, Jim Anastasiadis, Benito Del Monte Medina and Leslie Savlov.
