Over $200,000 was raised during the 24th edition of the Cyclo-Golf Classic benefitting the Cancer Research Society (CRS). On August 17th, 2017, some 150 participants attended the event held at the Elm Ridge Golf Club on Île Bizard to cycle or play golf to raise funds for cancer research. Since 1993, the event has allowed the CRS to distribute more than $3 million in grants to the most promising researchers in the country. True to its original mission, the CRS has been funding research on all types of cancer for over 70 years.
