Cornwall - Jun. 16, 2011 - Once again this year, the Cornwall Community Police Service will be working hard to raise money to fight Cancer.

The Police service will be holding a Bake Sale/BBQ on Thursday June 23, 2011 from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm in front of Police Headquarters located at 340 Pitt Street in support of the “Cops For Cancer” program. All proceeds will go to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Police officers across the province play a leadership role in organizing the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer events by involving the community in fundraising and cancer awareness activities.

The events range from head shaves in public places to participating in bike rides such as Pedal for Hope to organizing various school-based fundraising activities. To raise funds in the fight against cancer, event participants collect pledges from their co-workers, friends, family and community members.

To date, the Canadian Cancer Society’s Cops for Cancer program has raised more than $45.5 million across Canada. Please support this worthy cause!
