The Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team rolled through the Comox Valley Wednesday and Thursday, collecting thousands of dollars for the cause along the way.

There were special songs sung by students at schools, principals kissing pigs, a parking lot breakfast and a spaghetti dinner, among numerous other stops in the hectic schedule.

Donations were still being totalled Thursday afternoon. The Red Serge Spaghetti Dinner alone raised $15,000.

We will have a full recap of the Comox Valley fundraising efforts soon. In the meantime, here’s a photo gallery courtesy Record editor Terry Farrell.
