Some might say itÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s the most Canadian campaign in campaign history.
June 16 is Plaid for Dad day, a national event aimed at raising funds for the Canadian Prostate Association, and awareness for early detection.
For those needing the friendly reminder: thatÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s two days before FatherÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s Day.
Plaid for Dad was launched in 2015 as a way to shed light on the estimated one in eight men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year.
On Friday, participants can wear their best plaid Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥“ along with their colleagues Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥“ and post a photo to social media.
For every #plaidfordad hashtag posted until June 18 Sanofi Genzyme will donate $5 to Prostate Cancer Canada, up to $10,000.
This year, 1,000 workplaces are expected to be participating and fundraising through barbecues and company events.
