Last year at Relay For Life in Woodstock, we presented Cargill -- Agribrands Purina with a well-deserved Community Award of Celebrating Impact in Relay For Life – Team.
Today, we are extremely proud to present an even more prestigious award to the whole family of Agribrands (I understand now Cargill), a provincial award, one of only three in the province, the 2017 Relay For Life Champion Award – Team. This award is offered to a team that embodies the spirit of Relay For Life and serves as a model for other teams in terms of revenue generation, community engagement and mission integration.

Since 2004, Muriel’s Dream Team from Agribrands/Cargill has contributed $245,000 to critical life-saving cancer research and support programs for people with cancer and their families through the Canadian Cancer Society. The team began in honour of a very beloved valued employee, Muriel, and has continued over the years growing stronger, and never giving up hope.
Each one of you on the team over the years, along with Cargill, have contributed to this total through the fundraising efforts that go on relentlessly throughout the year here at Cargill and beyond. Your team of volunteers who organizes these fundraisers as members of the Agribrands / Cargill / Muriel’s Dream Team, work endlessly to raise the much-need funds to fight back against cancer.
CCS Info:
By 2030 – which is only 13 years away, the incidence rate of cancer is estimated to rise 40%. So the need is never more urgent. And it is working! Today, more than 60% of those diagnosed survive cancer as compared with 25% in the 1940s. The Canadian Cancer Society commends all of the Cargill family for making a difference, for continuing to make an impact against cancer. Thank you so very much.
