Police officers from our local 22 Division are raising funds to help future student leaders.

A fundraising gala is being held on September 14 at the Markland Wood Golf Club, at 245 Markland Drive, by the 22 Division Community Police Liaison Committee (CPLC) Scholarship/Bursary Fundraising Gala.

They plan to raise $10,000 through ticket sales and a silent auction during the event.

In attendance will be members of the Toronto Police Services, politicians from all levels of government, corporate members from our 22 Division borders and members of the general public.

The funds next year will be used to provide financial support to a number of graduating high school students, from 22 Division for their next level of education.

Recipients will be awarded on the basis of demonstrated financial need, academic merit and community involvement.

They are hoping through the event to support identified students by at least lessening some of the financial stress that will accompany their post-secondary education.

As a volunteer organization their financial resources to host this event are extremely limited so they have been reaching out to various members and entities of our community for support and thus far the response has been incredible, the group said.
