Through collaboration with surgeons, hospital staff, friends and families the event was created in order to raise funds for early diagnosis clinics, facilitation and awareness of the benefits of preventative action. The Bum Run is the only Toronto-hosted event that is registered as 100 percent non-profit. All funds raised are used toward the cause, cure and awareness campaign. The Bum Run is an unpaid volunteer event. Although there is a fundraising registration fee for a timing chip, it is an open, no fee event. All are invited to participate in the event for free by simply showing up. Toronto City Council is being asked to waive the user fees for this street event as a means to support colon cancer awareness. This Motion is urgent in order to provide the organizers with the necessary permits in time to execute their event.
