Push For Your Tush 5K/10K Walk/Run is Colorectal Cancer Canada's largest annual community event, uniting individuals across Canada in the fight against colorectal cancer.

PFYT is a fun, family-friendly atmosphere where survivors are celebrated, the lost are honoured and supportive communities grow, all while raising much needed funds and awareness to save lives!

Participants have the opportunity to engage both their bodies and hearts in this impactful initiative.

Throughout the years, PFYT has forged thousands of new connections by rallying the community, raising awareness, and supporting patients and their loved ones across the country! 

Push For Your Tush was started in 1996 in Toronto as a small family run event by Colorectal Cancer Canada Co-Founder Bunnie Schwartz to support her husband and sister who were diagnosed and died from colorectal cancer.



What began as a passion-project, made possible by the sweat and tears of family and friends, has become a national event still rooted in Canadian values of community and care for each other.

Passionate volunteers continue to lead the charge at the grassroots level, helping to organize to grow the event.

Every year, hundreds gather to push their tushes to generate funds, awareness and community support for Colorectal Cancer Canada and local cancer care efforts.
