In accordance with the CSA mission statement regarding the advancement and awareness of Christianson Syndrome.  The Ontario Police College (academy) held several fundraisers from the months of January to March.

CSA was presented to the Student Committee by Dante’s Dad, Enzo Coletta, an instructor at the college, as a charity option for the Basic Constable Class of January to March 2015 and was chosen as their charity of choice.

Over the three months the cadets raised a total of $1300.00 through donations and various fundraising events.  The entire college was talking about Christianson Syndrome.

On April 4, 2015, Mom, Wanda with little Dante by her side was presented with a check for $1300.00 by Mr. Bruce Heridge, the Director of the Ontario Police College while the soon to be graduating police cadets held up their bracelets in support of CSA!

Thank you Ontario Police College Basic Constable Class of January to March 2015!
