Trick-or-Eat
The McMaster Social Sciences Society is committed to participating in the annual Trick-or-Eat campaign to support Food Banks Canada, that raises non-perishable food donations by going door-to-door for Halloween.
In 2014, we raised over 500 pounds of food donations!
This year (2017), we hope to raise more for the fight against hunger!
Trick-or-Eat will be taking place October 30th, 2017. To get involved with the Trick-or-Eat campaign please contact our Outreach Coordinator, Cristina Palermo at outreach@themsss.com

Relay For Life
Annually, the McMaster Social Sciences participates in Relay for Life a 12-hour overnight fundraising event with the McMaster community that celebrates life and fights cancer.
At Relay, teams gather with cancer survivors at their local school and take turns walking laps all night.
Teams stay overnight in the decorated tent city, united to enjoy music, food, activities and entertainment. Relay for Life takes place in March.

Shinerama
Every year The MSSS and our Blu Cru team take part in Shinerama.
WHAT IS SHINERAMA?
Shinerama is Canada’s largest post-secondary school fundraiser, involving more than 50,000 students from over 70 university and college campuses. Shinerama raises money and generates awareness for Cystic Fibrosis (CF), a disease affecting the lungs and the digestive system. It is the most common, fatal, genetic disease that affects young Canadians with 1 in every 3,600 babies born with it every year.
Over the past three years the MSSS Blu Cru team has alone raised over $65, 000.00!
Terry Fox Run
Along with the help of our Blu Cru team, the MSSS Outreach Coordinator is responsible for organizing a team to participate in the annual Terry Fox Run.
Terry Fox began his journey with the Marathon of Hope more than 35 years ago. The McMaster and Hamilton community continue to carry Terry’s hope and objective of finding a cure for cancer.
If you are interested in joining next years team, contact Cristina Palermo at outreach@themsss.com
The 2017 Fall run has been cancelled at McMaster, but we hope for it to return next year!
