Swish for the Cure

The 6th Annual Swish for the Cure event will be held on  Saturday Feb 4, 2012.

The multi-faceted event, established in 2005 by Elite Basketball Camps, includes fund-raising initiatives and an action-packed day of fun-filled activities for 50 kids battling cancer. In its first five years, Swish for the Cure’s fund-raising initiatives raised over $117,000 for Childhood Cancer Canada. 100% of the funds raised go to Childhood Cancer Canada. The fund-raising initiatives include:

• An online campaign, where you can make a secure online donation by clicking the "DONATE TO A PARTICIPANT" link above.
• An Elite Camps staff charity game, featuring some of our best staff. This includes staff who have played, or currently do play basketball in NCAA Division 1, European professional leagues, and on Canadian and US university/college teams. Stay tuned for further details on the date and location of the game.
• School Competitions, in which schools throughout the GTA hold basketball shooting competitions with students raising funds to compete. If you’re interested in running an event at your school, please Download the Swish For the Cure Teacher Organizer Resource Kit for all the information you need.
• The actual Event, a fun day of basketball and other activities for 50 kids with cancer. None of the funds raised in the initiatives described above go toward the day’s Event; every penny goes directly to Childhood Cancer Canada. How do we run the Event without funding and without a budget? Through an amazing voluntary contribution of many individuals and businesses throughout the community coming together to pull it off - donating their services, time, products, and food to ensure every kid walks away with a great experience, enjoying great food and amazing prizes.
