This school year, Richmond schools surpassed $1 million in fundraising for the Terry Fox Foundation, building on 45 years of participation in the Terry Fox school run.
The total represents a long-standing commitment in our schools, with ongoing participation from students and staff as part of this shared effort. In 2025 alone, Richmond schools raised more than $60,000. Walter Lee Elementary was also recognized as one of the top fundraising schools in British Columbia and Yukon for 2025.
The Terry Fox Run remains a meaningful part of each school year. Fundraising activities and events give students the opportunity to take action, as they learn about Terry Fox’s journey and the courage, compassion and determination he demonstrated.
This milestone reflects a shared achievement, with students and staff continuing to carry forward Terry Fox’s legacy while supporting cancer research.
