Peace Conversation and Cops For Cancer
My name is Jess Mucha and I have been an RCMP officer in Whistler for 2 years.
This year I have joined 39 other officers from various departments and detachments in the lower mainland to support the Canadian Cancer Society Program - Cops for Cancer.
Cops for Cancer is a road cycling tour that will start on September 20th. The team will cycle approximately 100 kilometres a day for 5 days. Before the tour, we are required to do extensive training as well as fundraise a minimum of $4000 each.
I began my fundraising mid March and I have already raised $4,870.99. I do not have a set fundraising goal but I would like to raise quite a bit more before the tour. This year Covid 19 has definitely made things quite a bit more difficult and has put restraints on certain fundraising opportunities. Despite the restrictions I am impressed with the amount I have raised thus far.
The fundraisers I have done so far :
-
Local artist jigsaw puzzle sales
-
Detachment wide liquor raffle
I have also received funds through social media outreach and bottle donations.
Planned fundraisers to happen within the next 3 months:
-
Online silent auction with prizes donated from local businesses
-
Photos with a Mountie in the Village
-
Cancer Society Raffle
-
Detachment BBQ
-
Creekbread Fundraiser
