Bears on Broadway volunteers, artists
& sponsors could bear-ly contain their enthusiasm
A year-long labour
of love by so many
By Peter Carlyle-Gordge, For the Free Press
CancerCare Manitoba Foundation has added a new sphere of interest
to its multi faceted special event program over the last year.
Bears on Broadway is a signature project that commemorates the
75th anniversay of CancerCare Manitoba in a most unitque way.
Soon 62 seven-foot-tall polar bears will be gracing the median
strip on Broadway from the CN Station to Memorial Boulevard
for the summer until late October, to help raise funds for CancerCare
Manitoba Foundation and to raise awareness about what everyone
can do to reduce their risk of cancer.
Every bear has a sponsor and it’s anticipated the Bears
On Broadway project will raise over $400,000 for CancerCare
Manitoba. It’s their largest single project ever and it’s
taken an army of artists and assorted technical, construction
and building experts to make it all happen.
