Sher Holdings Crane, BTA Reliability, Cyclone Hydrovac, TVR, Molycop and Weir Minerals took part in the Caravan of Care fundraiser, with Jo Berry and Rick Chapman of RunClub in the escort car, from where they handed over a donation from RunClub and Runners Sole. The funds are being split evenly between the United Way’s community funds which help support groups such as the Canadian Mental health Association, Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre and Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops and A Way Home Kamloops, the latter being an agency that focuses on helping homeless youths. “It was very successful and heartfelt,” organizer Nathaniel Martin told KTW in an email regarding the fundraiser. “Many families and individuals are going to be helped by the generosity of these companies who pooled together their donations.”
