Over 500 Scouts to sleepover on the field at BC Place

September 26^th, 2019

The largest slumber party in the city is happening at BC Place this weekend! The stadium will host over 500 deserving Scouts and their families for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sleepover on the field after the BC Lions game on Saturday, September 28th.

The BC Lions have teamed up with local Scout groups to offer hundreds of kids the epic experience of sleeping over on the playing field and watching a movie on the big screen after the big game. Scouts will also have the unique opportunity to hold the Canadian flag on the field in front of thousands of fans during the National Anthem and earn a Scouts Night Badge.

A portion of every ticket sold for the event goes to The No One Left Behind Program, an effort to ensure that every youth is provided with the opportunity to experience new adventures with a local Scouts Canada program. Through No One Left Behind, membership fees and related costs are subsidized for youth from families facing economic barriers.

BC Place hosts Heroes Challenge to help grant heartfelt wishes

September 25^th, 2019

Children’s Wish Foundation, BC & Yukon Chapter, is thrilled to host the annual TIMBER MART Heroes Challenge in Vancouver on Friday, September 27th, at BC Place. This national event takes place in 15 cities across Canada with the goal of raising $1 million for wishes. Almost 300 participants from across the Lower Mainland signed up for this year’s Vancouver challenge with the goal of raising $185,000 locally for 19 incredible wish recipients.

TIMBER MART Heroes Challenge is an annual event, which pairs corporate and individual teams with a wish child, all with a team goal of raising $10,000 (the average cost of a wish) to grant the child’s most heartfelt wish. Teams celebrate their fundraising success with their wish child on challenge day, where participants compete in fun, creative challenges designed to test team spirit, mental agility, and physical ability. Challenges are inclusive of all team members and participating wish children.

"We are thrilled and grateful that almost 300 participants from Metro Vancouver, both from the corporate and community sector, have taken part in this year’s event," says Hannah Smith, Provincial Director of Children’s Wish, BC & Yukon Chapter. "This event recognizes and honours our wish children’s bravery, strength and resilience as they take on the challenging medical treatment routines, surgeries and medical appointments. Funds raised from this event will help grant more heartfelt wishes for at least 19 incredible kids whose wishes range from a treehouse to snorkeling in Belize."
