Airdrie Free the Fuzz

Our neighbours to the north will be working to Free the Fuzz this weekend at the Airdrie Walmart.

From Friday, July 26 to Sunday, July 28, 2013, the Alberta Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) and Walmart Canada will team-up to hold a major fundraising event in support of Special Olympics Alberta.

Members of the Calgary Police Service, RCMP, Alberta Sheriffs, Airdrie City Municipal Officers and Corrections Alberta will all be involved on the roof and at ground level. Members will stay atop the store on Big Hill Springs Road S.W., in Airdrie, until Sunday at 4 p.m.

The officers will be hoisted to the top of the building by members of the Airdrie Fire Department at 9:45 a.m., this morning.

Members of the public are encouraged to help to Free the Fuzz and support the Special Olympics by stopping by to make a donation, or by purchasing a hotdog or pop at the weekend event.

Stop by and meet Airdrie Special Olympics athletes, and hear their stories.

Purchase a LETR T-shirt, water bottle or other merchandise, with all proceeds going to Special Olympics.

The Alberta Law Enforcement Torch Run is a grassroots organization made up of law enforcement officers dedicated to raising awareness and funds for the Special Olympics. Special Olympics Alberta provides individuals with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to participate in sport.
