About Us
The Cure Cancer Classic is a student-run non-for-profit executive team with a mission to drop the gloves against cancer and support those currently battling, living with, and moving past the disease in the best way we know how. Hockey is a passion that unites many Canadians, and as fans and players of the sport, it inspires and ignites our battle.
​
Our team is composed of 33 driven, energetic and passionate Queen's Commerce and Engineering students with a work hard, play hard attitude.
The Cure Cancer Classic initiative began in 2005 in the Commerce Class COMM 351: Leadership and Organizational Behaviour. The summative project of the class is to start an initiative that makes a positive impact on your community.
Jared March, COMM '06, initiated the Comm-Ivey Rivalry Game, bringing students at the Richard Ivey School of Business at Western across the province to play for bragging rights in Kingston. The project was well-supported and grew into an annual initiative, gathering a larger portfolio of events along the way.
Cure Cancer Classic is a part of the Hockey Fights Cancer initiative, founded by the NHL to unite the hockey community in support of cancer patients and their families.
​
In 2019, the Canadian Cancer Society assisted us in securing a partnership with Annie Huang's Brain Cancer Research Lab at Sick Kids Hospital. Through a government grant, CCC's Donation will be matched each year; doubling our impact.
