Cops for Cancer
| | High School Golf Tournament | | | |
Cops for Cancer is a fundraiser to help support research into treatments for childhood cancers and funds Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp in Maple Ridge where BC's kids in treatment or in remission can come to just be kids for a few weeks.
Four cycling tours are signature fundraising events held in BC every Fall. Delta Police participates in the Tour de Valley. In 2010 it took place from September 23 to October 1, with the riders criss-crossing the Fraser Valley, from Delta up to Boston Bar and back, an 800 km route over nine days, making stops along the way to collect donations. The five Delta Police riders raised $34,500 through their generous supporters.
Several fundraising events lead up to the ride, including a polesit.
For the weekend of July 9, team leader, Cst Ken Usipiuk spent 50 hours atop a scissor lift at the Scottsdale Centre on Scott Road, Delta. Other members of the team participated in collecting donations.
