Annual Hike Fundraiser
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED THE 5TH ANNUAL MEGHAN CROOK MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP HIKE!
A huge thank you to everyone who participated and donated to the 5th Annual Meghan Crook Memorial Scholarship Hike. For those who came out to the hike at Terra Cotta on Sunday, October 5th, thank you! It was a perfect day for hiking together in memory of Meghan. We are thrilled that $8,124 to date has been raised to provide (2) scholarships each year to our youth at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel York who are going on to post-secondary education.
A special thank you to York Regional Police and the York Regional Police Association for their sponsorship of the 5th Annual Hike. A big shout out to Meghan’s Big Sister Donna Coulson and friend and coworker at York Regional Police Rhonda Evans for their hard work each year to plan this fundraising hike in memory of Meghan.
Thank you to everyone for helping to celebrate Meghan’s life and to help support the youth at BBBSPY in their post-secondary educational journey!
About Meghan . . .
Meghan was a shining light in the lives of so many and a valued part of our Big Brothers Big Sisters family. Meghan was a Little Sister and then became a Big Sister for 11 years and was always a strong advocate of mentoring. Through hard work and perseverance, Meghan achieved her dream of becoming a York Regional Police officer and quickly worked her way up to Detective Constable. Tragically, Meghan passed away on February 2, 2021 at the age of 31 as the result of snowmobile accident. Meghan believed in opportunities and that everyone should have a chance to achieve their goals. In 2021 the Meghan Crook Memorial Scholarship fund was created in honour of Meghan and to keep her memory alive. Each year 2 youth from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel York will be awarded a $5,000 scholarship to assist them in their post-secondary journey.
All funds raised from the Annual Meghan Crook Memorial Hike goes directly towards providing scholarships to give youth the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Anyone can change their life, and everyone can make a difference!
