The Comox Valley ATV Club wants to say thanks to the community鈥檚 first responders, and raise some money for YANA at the same time.
The club is hosting a barbecue party, Saturday at the Comox Legion hall, 1825 Comox Ave. from 12:30 - 2:30 p.m.
The barbecue is free for all first responders and their families, and the public is invited. For $5, you can have lunch, say thanks to a few community heroes, and know your money is going to a great cause. You Are Not Alone - YANA - helps Comox Valley families who need to travel for medical services for their children.
鈥淲e want to say thanks and recognize all the hard-working emergency first response personnel of the Comox Valley with a big barbecue feast,鈥� said Ted Meszaros of the Comox Valley ATV Club. 鈥淎ll the money raised will go to YANA.鈥�
