CAPPY 2011 KICKS IT UP A NOTCH
"The event was awesome !!!!! EVERYTHING was Perfect !! This was our first Cappy Ride and we will never miss another one.”
“I can’t wait til next year!”
A big and very sincere thank you goes out to all our generous sponsors and supporters, to the riders, to our fabulous police escorts, our volunteers, and staff for helping to make this 20th anniversary of the CAPPY Ride against child abuse a record breaking year. With over 150 participants and close to twenty sponsors, the Ride raised over $53,000, well over our original goal, and that will all go to child sexual abuse prevention, education and treatment programs. Awesome! Your support has helped to shift this already exciting event up a few notches and on to an even more exciting course – and that translates into improved trauma treatment programs, getting children off the wait list faster, and helping more child and youth victims move beyond the trauma of this heinous crime and look to the future with hope and promise.
Special thanks to the dedicated CAPPY 2011 Planning Committee members and Chair, Margaret Maillet, Sobey’s Milton for her outstanding leadership, and to our Honorary Ride Chair, Dave DeRocco, Astral Media (who are on board as our Media Sponsor for next year!)
“A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” — M. Mead
CAPPY 2011 may not have changed the world but your caring and good will makes a world of difference to the Council’s ability to carry on this important work and hence, makes a world of difference to the lives of the child victims of sexual abuse who come to our doors every day for help. Your support helps us all get a little closer to changing what goes on in our communities and neighborhoods and making children safer - and that’s a hefty start to making broader change.
On behalf of all us at the Council - the staff and Board – you have our deepest gratitude and appreciation and we look forward to your continuing support next year.
Pictures of this year’s CAPPY will be posted soon.
With heartfelt thanks,
Karen Smith,
Executive Director
