Roots team takes part in Relay for Life out east

Hats off to Roots employees who give of their free time to get out and support worthy causes. In the latest example, the staff at the Wheeler Park outlet store in Moncton, New Brunswick recently took part in the Relay for Life fundraising event to benefit cancer research
“It was a very good experience for our team,” says Mauricio Santos, Store Manager. “Now we feel even more committed to participating in other initiatives like this.”
In addition to Mauricio, staff who took part in the event included (in alphabetical order), Sophie Lajoie, Samantha Morey, and Joyce Phillips. Also in attendance was Melissa Vienneau who came with her friends for support. Although unable to attend, Maria Brine and Sally Gaudet also gave their support to the rest of the team.
The Canadian Cancer Society's Relay for Life is an overnight, non-competitive event that honours and celebrates cancer survivors and has become the organization’s premier fundraising event. It involves teams of people who take turns walking, running or strolling around a track, as well as a survivors' victory lap.
