[ Back to Media ] Thousands Raised for Project S.H.A.R.E Christmas Program 5th Annual CYTEC Candy Cane Lane 5k Race & Fun Run Presented by RBC Royal Bank a Great Success! Niagara Falls, ON – The Winter Festival of Lights is pleased to announce results of the 5th Annual CYTEC Candy Cane Lane 5k Race & Fun Run presented by RBC Royal Bank, which was held yesterday. The Overall Men’s winner with a time of 18 minutes, 02 seconds was Kyle Varley of Niagara Falls, ON, while the Overall Women’s winner was Josiane Aboungono of Milton, ON with a time of 19:57. Each was awarded a $250 cash prize for their achievements. A complete list of winners, by age category, in both male and female divisions is attached. In total, over 260 runners participated from as far away as Ireland; this represented an increase in participants of nearly 30 percent versus last year. The CYTEC Candy Cane Lane 5k Race & Fun Run presented by RBC Royal Bank was started as a way to encourage outdoor, wintertime physical activity while raising food and cash donations for Project S.H.A.R.E’s Christmas Program. This year, $5,581 and a couple hundred pounds of food were raised for the Christmas Program. This year’s CYTEC Candy Cane Lane 5k Race & Fun Run introduced the CYTEC Corporate Challenge, providing an opportunity for the corporate community to enter the 5k Race or Fun Run while raising donations for Project S.H.A.R.E. The Corporate Challenge winners were the Wendy Leard School of Dance and CYTEC Canada. “The funds raised was nearly double the amount raised last year,” stated Jeff Guarasci, Development Manager of Project S.H.A.R.E.. “It is due to the efforts of so many people that this is possible, including the herculean efforts of John Bedell who secured $1,290 and Katherine Gall, who raised $1,005 in pledges. With the number of families needing our help increasing, monies raised from events like the Candy Cane Lane 5k Race are critical.” On hand to present the awards was Darda Sales, two-time, Paralympic medalist (gold and silver) and world record holder in the 4x100m medley relay.
