I am participating in Cops for Cancer for which local police agencies and emergency service personnel will ride 1200km from one end of the Island to the other - all to support local children and families living with cancer and beyond. 

The impact of cancer on our lives, our families and our communities are enormous. Because of it, the Canadian Cancer Society is committed to doing everything it can to save and improve lives. One of the Canadian Cancer Society’s most high-profile fundraising initiatives, Cops for Cancer, focuses on families impacted by cancer. It involves committed cops, caring communities, and inspirational kids. Participants from law enforcement and emergency services ride hundreds of kilometres across British Columbia all while fundraising for children and families living with cancer.

On Vancouver Island, Tour de Rock will run from September 21st, through to October 5th, 2024, from one end of Vancouver Island to the other. Since its inception in 1997, Cops for Cancer has raised more than $54 million directed at life-saving research to change the future of childhood cancer forever. These funds also support vital programs like Camp Goodtimes, which gives families of children diagnosed with cancer the opportunity to spend time together in a stress-free and medically supervised environment.

Our event will be held on Saturday, September 21st, 2024, at the Royal Canadian Legion #180. We are hoping to have a seafood feast. We are estimating to feed 100 people. If you can donate something for the dinner, or an item for the online/silent auction, or make a cash donation please contact Ashley. *Please have auction donations delivered before August 30th, 2024*

This will be my 12th year organizing the Tour de Rock Dinner & Auction for Port Alice! Thank you for considering our donation request. It is with donation, help and support from you, we have been able to raise these funds. Together we can help children with cancer and their families right here on Vancouver Island by being involved and supporting the Cops for Cancer – Tour de Rock.

Sincerely,

The money raised from this event will support the Canadian Cancer Society in fueling new pediatric cancer research discoveries and sending 600 kids each year to Camp Goodtimes, a medically-supervised recreation experience for children and teens affected by cancer and their families.  

Please make a donation on my behalf and help me reach my fundraising goal! Donating online is secure and it saves the Canadian Cancer Society money by reducing administrative costs. 

One child with cancer is one child too many. Nothing big gets solved by one person or one organization. To take on cancer, it takes every one of us. It takes a society. 

Thanks for your support!
