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!

Location changes each year.

Run With Rob
Each Summer, 2025 Date TBD

Run With Rob is an annual event inspired by Terry Fox’s legacy. Rob Tétrault, our president and co-founder, runs across provinces to raise awareness and funds for the Canadian CMV Foundation. This initiative emphasizes the need for universal screening for congenital CMV and calls for action across Canada.

In 2023, the event was held in Manitoba, followed by New Brunswick in 2024. Each year, Rob’s run highlights newborn CMV screening and invites community participation, with participants able to join Rob for one or more half-marathon legs.

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.
