CMEA Chapter Presidents,
CMEA Family,
We, the Comox Chapter of the Canadian Military Engineer Association, have canvassed and collected donations from across Canada in the sum of $1875.00 for the benefit of Mr. Marc Binney and family.
We are aware that money will not solve the issues that face them as a family but hope this donation will assist, in some way, to help in the future.
On behalf of the Chapter President, Maj Trevor Fenton and the Vice President, Mr. Dave Armitt, I would like to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks for the support you have all shown in helping us help one of our own. Your generosity and compassion were well received by the Binney family at fund raising BBQ at Comox RP Ops on 28 June, where another approximately $2000.00 were raised.
In total, including the go fund me site, there has been a tremendous show of support to the tune of almost $20,000.00. This number will, I’m sure, continue to grow as time passes.
It was great to see Marc out of the hospital and for him to be able enjoy the company of engineers, friends and family on a beautiful day.
Best regards,
CHIMO
Russ Vida
Secretary / Treasurer
