On the anniversary of the line of duty deaths of two Edmonton police officers (Constable Brett Ryan and Constable Travis Jordan), The Donut Man in Crossfield Alberta held a fundraiser with their Memorial Ribbon donuts. The Donut Man raised $1,500 which they donated to the Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Ribbon Society Scholarship. The photo shows The Donut Man owner Charlotte turning over a cheque to Director / Scholarship Chair James Pearson and President Shawn Coady.
The scholarship was created so that the children of fallen officers can attend a post secondary institution anywhere they wish. To date, the Memorial Ribbon Scholarship has supported 29 children of fallen officers, with the scholarship writing cheques totalling over $350,000 since 2011.
Charlotte and The Donut Man plan on making this an annual fundraiser event. Thank you Charlotte for all your support!
