BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund Fundraiser
|
Capilano Suspension Bridge hosted 200 fire fighters in a fundraising effort for the BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund. Besides physically supporting hundreds of Professional Fire Fighters, Capilano Suspension Bridge donated $100 per fire fighter standing on the bridge. The donation totaling $20,000, makes Capilano Suspension Bridge a platinum sponsor and will go towards the Burn Fund's annual Burn Awareness Week Program (BAW), which teaches children to be responsible for their own safety, and helps make their families aware of potentially harmful situations.
Both Capilano Suspension Bridge and the Burn Fund were affected during the winter storms of 2006. Capilano Suspension Bridge closed for repairs after a windstorm swept through the park causing damage, and the cancellation of the annual Canyon Lights celebration. For the BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund, the storms lead to a four-day cancellation of their popular Bright Nights in Stanley Park event, hampering their fundraising goals.
