$10k raised for Cops for Kids at Tamarack
On Wednesday, September 16 Cranbrook ladies attended the annual All Male Fashion Show Fundraiser, which featured fashions from Tamarack Centre stores including Bootlegger, Winners and Warehouse One.
RCMP members modelled the clothes and the night was filled with entertainment from musician Fraser Armstrong, music by Ray’s Music, comedy from Derek Kortchega and Steve Mercandelli and games and fun throughout the evening.
Area businesses contributed over $8,000 worth of items for the Silent Auction and The Heidout catered the entire affair.
This year there was an increase in VIP ticket holders which has become popular throughout the years. The tickets included table service, goodies, appie platters and preferred/reserved seating.
The event takes place during the 1,000 km bike ride that Cops for Kids embarks on annually and is one of the preferred stops along the way, according to ride coordinator Courtney King.
One hundred per cent of the funds raised have been donated directly to Cops for Kids who in turn distribute it locally to kids in need.
