Crime Stoppers fundraisers
Crime Stoppers of Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma District has announced its two primary fundraising initiatives for 2026: the Heroes of Service Awards and Night Light Golf. Together, these signature events play a vital role in sustaining Crime Stoppers’ community driven public safety program and its ongoing support of police investigations across the region through the collection of anonymous tips.
Crime Stoppers operates without guaranteed operational funding. Funds raised through these initiatives directly support anonymous tip reporting, rewards, and public awareness efforts that help prevent crime and contribute to community safety throughout the Algoma District.
Heroes of Service Awards – May 13, 2026
Building on the success of its rebranded awards program, the 2026 Heroes of Service Awards will take place on Wednesday, May 13, 2026. This special evening is dedicated to recognizing the dedication, bravery, and professionalism of Emergency Service Professionals who work every day to protect and support the community.
The awards honour individuals across policing, fire services, paramedic services, corrections, probation and parole, youth justice, and other public safety roles. Participating agencies are invited to nominate a member who has gone above and beyond in their service, with honourees recognized by their peers and leadership during the ceremony.
The Heroes of Service Awards is made possible through strong community partnerships and sponsorship support, including presenting sponsor KC Security Services. Crime Stoppers continues to invite local businesses and organizations to partner in recognizing those who serve with integrity while supporting a proven and effective crime prevention program. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are now available at www.saultcrimestoppers.com. Proceeds from the Heroes of Service Awards directly fund Crime Stoppers’ anonymous tip line and local crime prevention initiatives.
