Some might say itsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™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: thatsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s two days before Fathersa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™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 sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½“ along with their colleagues sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½“ 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.
