The weekend to end breast cancer celebrates with [yellow tail]

[yellow tail] wines and the Weekend to End Breast Cancer are uniting to support women and men in a 2-day, 60km walk or a 1-day, 30km walk to raise money for breast cancer awareness. As participants celebrate their achievements, [yellow tail] wines will be there to celebrate with them. Our [yellow tail] Wine Bar will be located at the end of each city's event encouraging participants to relax with friends over a glass of [yellow tail] wine. And to continue the festivities we will be hosting [yellow tail] "Wheel of Fortune" and mini putt putt games with [yellow tail] prizes to be won

The Weekend to End Breast Cancer is an inspirational event that mirrors the [yellow tail] philosophy by bringing friends and family together to celebrate life and enjoy every moment. Events like this make a difference for women around the world and [yellow tail] is proud to be part of such a special weekend to unite Canadians in the fight against breast cancer.

Since the inception of the Weekend to End Breast Cancer, $190 million has been raised across Canada, with all money raised staying in the community and supporting local hospitals and cancer centres. Funds raised traditionally benefited breast cancer research treatment and care.  In 2009, this has expanded to include all gynaecological cancers, including among others, cervical, endometrial and ovarian.

The 2009 Weekend to End Breast Cancer events will take place in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.
