The Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast took place in September and Sutton Group – West Coast Realty (Victoria) supported the event with a $3,000 donation.
Cops for Cancer is an annual bike ride to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. More than 100 law enforcement and emergency services personnel cycled through more than 60 communities across the challenging terrain of Vancouver Island, northern B.C., the Fraser Valley and the coast of British Columbia. Cops for Cancer 2016 raised $487,445.
“Most people have a co-worker or loved one who has been affected by cancer, so we felt it was important to support this event,” says Julie DeMelo a real estate agent who volunteers on Sutton Group – West Coast Realty’s donation committee along with Deborah Farley and Danielle Moreau.
“Each month, between 30 and 40 agents contribute to our donation program. We distribute those funds three to four times per year. Our next project will be helping local families at Christmas,” says DeMelo.
