CMV Mission Possible
Each Summer

CMV Mission Possible is an annual event just for kids, inspiring them to reach their dreams, whether it’s solving puzzles, dancing, or creating something amazing. Each child sets a personal goal and, once achieved, receives CMV Mission Possible stickers, a certificate, and a prize of their choice delivered to their door. It’s all about celebrating young accomplishments!

Winnipeg, Manitoba

CMV Canada Half Marathon
Sunday, March 30, 2025

This event originated from the overwhelming success of the 2023 edition of Run With Rob, where Rob Tétrault ran 506 km across Manitoba in just 12 days to raise awareness for congenital CMV. The outpouring of community support inspired organizers to make this an annual tradition, and each year, the event aims to expand its reach and impact.

The CMV Canada Half Marathon is both a vibrant community event and a runner’s race, with ideal cooler temps setting the stage for personal bests. Participants will receive a beautiful, high-quality medal, and the post-run celebration will include refreshments and a lively, fun-filled atmosphere!

Past Events

What We Did So Far

Winnipeg, Manitoba

Le Classique
2013 - 2020

​​Le Classique was a major winter event in Winnipeg from 2013 to 2020, growing into Western Canada’s largest outdoor 3-on-3 ball hockey tournament. What started as a fundraiser for congenital CMV screening led to the founding of the Canadian CMV Foundation when the organizers realized the need for a dedicated organization in Canada.

Despite a few cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Le Classique was a beloved tradition that brought the community together and made a significant impact in the fight against congenital CMV.
