The annual appreciation luncheon hosted by D.A.R.E. BC took place at the Richmond R.C.M.P. Headquarters on December 7th, 2024. The volunteer appreciation gathering was a memorable and heartwarming event, where we celebrated the invaluable contributions of our volunteers and acknowledged the support of our sponsors and community partners. The event brought together an inspiring group of individuals, including our dedicated volunteers, key supporters, and special guests.

The event began with an introduction and heartfelt thanks to all those who have made a difference through their dedication.

A special moment of the event was the address by Cst. Walker, who gave us an insightful overview of the DARE Program and shared her personal experiences and memorable moments from her involvement. Her reflections offered a deeper understanding of the positive impact that programs like DARE have on the community and our youth.

Throughout the event, we also received generous donations, which will further support our initiatives and allow us to continue serving our community. The event fostered a sense of connection and appreciation, not just for the hard work of our volunteers, but also for the invaluable support from our sponsors and partners.

A key highlight of the gathering was the presentation of appreciation certificates to our sponsors and volunteers, recognizing their ongoing support and invaluable contributions to our mission.

Attendees enjoyed a warm atmosphere filled with networking and celebration. The event served as a wonderful reminder of the power of community, and we are grateful for all those who contribute to our success.

We would also like to extend special thanks to Andy, who worked tirelessly to prepare all the delicious food for our gathering. We are deeply grateful for his time and dedication.
