Toronto’s CN Tower has turned pink to help The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation bring awareness to Paint Canada Pink Week from July 20 through July 24, 2009. Toronto photographer Ari Berman captured the CN Tower in its pink splendor Monday evening when local photographers were invited to document the occasion.

Bathed in pink lighting visible at nightfall, the CN Tower is just one organization that is supporting The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s Paint Canada Pink Week – an event led by volunteers from coast to coast who are bringing awareness to the breast cancer cause and to encourage participation in this year’s Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure to be held on Sunday, October 4th, 2009 at Nathan Phillips Square.

The annual Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure is the largest single-day fundraising event in Canada dedicated to creating a future without breast cancer. Last year the Run raised over $28.5 million to fund innovative and relevant breast cancer research, education and awareness programs. This year’s Run takes place in over 50 communities on Sunday, October 4.. For more information on the Run please visit www.cbcf.org.

As the leading national volunteer-based organization dedicated to creating a future without breast cancer, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation works collaboratively to fund, support and advocate for relevant and innovative breast cancer research, meaningful education and awareness programs, early diagnosis and effective treatment, and a positive quality of life for those living with breast cancer. Founded in 1986, the Foundation has regional offices in BC/Yukon, Prairies/NWT, Ontario and the Atlantic provinces, as well as a central office in Toronto. For more information, visit www.cbcf.org.
