Dear Supporters, This week marks the commencement of our 2015 11 for 11 Campaign where we ask all Canadians to donate $11 in support of educational scholarships for the children of our fallen heroes. As we kick off our campaign we are also very proud to announce that with your generosity we have awarded $70,000 in scholarships for the 2015 academic term. Since 2009, the Canadian Hero Fund has given away over $250,000 in academic support. We call on you again this November to open your hearts and give in support of military families. With your donation we can ensure that those families who experience a traumatic loss get the support they require from their community. Canadians can ensure a positive future for the children of our heroes. Please visit 11for11.ca and give $11 to support our heroes and their families. Sincerely, Tim Peters & Alan Fraser Co-Founders, Canadian Hero Fund
