McNally High School hosts its annual Tiger Spirit Bike-A-Thon for the 5th year in a row with tremendous enthusiasm from its organizers and participants as the New Year rolls in. The Bike-a-Thon fever has made its way into McNally, bringing about both old and new participants excited to raise money and win the battle against cancer by biking for 24 hours to support the research conducted by Cops For Cancer. Numerous prizes such as the “Best Team Name”, “Best Team Cheer” and many more, including our successful newest edition, “The Least Carbon Footprint” are waiting to be won. So, let’s bring with us our Tiger Spirit and bike away to help reach a cancer free future.

In an effort to over come this devastating disease, McNally has had a long standing tradition of raising money for Cops for Cancer through Head Shave Events, Grad Committee Christmas Pancake Breakfasts and Tiger Spirit Bike-a-thons. In the spirit of McNally’s motto “Nothing but the Best”, the efforts of the students, staff and the community have resulted in donations to in the Canadian Cancer Society in excess of $193,000. Once again McNally’s students and Cops for Cancer Team Iron members are planning the “2010 Tiger Spirit Bike- a-Thon”.
