Home / School News / Tour de Rock visit canceled

 

Dear Students, Parents and Staff at Millstream,

For the past 21 years, Tour de Rock has been raising funds to support pediatric cancer research and Camp Goodtimes. Over that time, over $25 million dollars has been raised thanks to the ongoing support and dedication of schools like Millstream. This event has become the largest community event on Vancouver Island and creates an incredible impact on the lives of Island families who are faced with the unimaginable – a cancer diagnosis.

As you know, the Tour was scheduled to visit your school this week. Unfortunately though, due to a significant oversight by our team, the stop at Millstream was not scheduled accordingly. I would like to personally apologize for this error as I know you all had been working very hard to prepare for our arrival. We are however working with Mrs. Krusekopf to schedule a very special visit specifically for you once the Tour officially wraps up on October 4th. More details will be released once we have a confirmed date and time, but our commitment is to recognize your efforts and bring the Tour to you as we know how hard you have worked to support our mission. Again, please accept our apologies for this oversight. Our team has already included Millstream into our 2020 planning document so that this does not happen again.

Thank you so much for your understanding and commitment to the Tour! We are all in it #forthekids and appreciate your support.

Many thanks,

-Tiffany
