Burning Bright for Breast Cancer Awareness

The Durham Synchro Club in conjunction with Synchro Swim Ontario and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation recently participated in the eighth annual “Burning Bright for Breast Cancer” event held on Saturday, October 15, 2011 at the Centennial Pool, Oshawa Civic Recreational Complex in Oshawa.

This event is held throughout the various synchronized swim clubs in Ontario during Breast Cancer Month. Swimmers from DSC’s Competitive Program (Provincial and National levels) partook in a variety of activities intended to promote awareness about breast cancer. This year Durham Synchro swimmers raised $700.00 during this one day event that will be donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
