Cyrus Centre Ministries held its 20th anniversary Leap of Faith fundraiser in Abbotsford on Thursday, July 11.
The event at Skydive Vancouver (5112 Gladwin Rd.) raised money for services and programs for vulnerable youth in the Fraser Valley.
Locals and adventure enthusiasts were invited to participate in a tandem skydive, raising crucial funds for Cyrus Centre's ongoing programs.
In addition to the skydives, the day featured family-friendly festivities.
Participants had to raise a minimum of $800 to jump, with all proceeds directly benefiting Cyrus Centre’s programs. For those interested in supporting without taking the dive, an option was available to "Fill a Plane" by sponsoring a youth.
Since 2004, Cyrus Centre Ministries has offered services that range from emergency shelter to counseling and transitional housing. Cyrus Centre, located in Abbotsford and Chilliwack, operates the only youth shelter between Surrey and the Thompson Okanagan and serves youth ages 12 to 24 from across the province.
