British Columbia Fire Fighters Hold Burn Fund Run 2009 

August 20, 2009 – The second annual Burn Fund Run in support of the British Columbia Professional Fire Fighters Association (BCFFA) Burn Fund took place April 5 at the Abbotsford Running Room and again June 14 at the White Rock/Surrey, Burnaby and Victoria Broadmead Running Room stores.

Fire vehicles, children, dogs and people walking, running and doing other various forms of exercise made for a fun event, which raised $14,005.75 to benefit the British Columbia Burn Fund building. More than $20,000 has been raised since the event began two years ago.

Organizers express their thanks to all participants and the staff of the Running Room, and are looking at the comments from this year’s run to help improve next year’s event.
