The Scotiabank Charity Challenge on Sunday, June 26th is a mere three weeks away. Not running this year? No problem! Here are two fun ways for everyone to get involved (and get your hands on a signed Mason Raymond Canucks jersey!)
-
Celebrate the playoffs at our Charity Challenge Pub Night at Ceili’s Irish Pub and Restaurant
Tip a pint and go home with a Mason Raymond signed Canucks jersey – an awesome souvenir to commemorate this epic cup run!
On Thursday, June 9th from 6pm to 10pm join us at Ceili’s Irish Pub and Restaurant on Smithe (at Granville) for our Charity Challenge Pub Night. Continue the Playoff celebration between games by drinking, dancing, prizes and the opportunity to go home with a signed Mason Raymond Canucks jersey!
You’ll also have the chance to win great prizes throughout the night and bid on some fabulous silent auction items.
Tickets include a drink and appies and are just $10. To purchase email events@spca.bc.ca or call 604 681 7271. Limited door sales will be available.

Cheer for the Animals!
Come down and support our runners in the BC SPCA Cheer Section!
The BC SPCA has been allocated a cheering section along the last mile of the race. We would love to see our supporters, as well as your supporters, there cheering all of the amazing participants to the finish line.
We will be gathering at our assigned cheer spot located across from the intersection of Davie Street, Denman Street and Beach Avenue (see map) from 7:30am to 10am cheering on the runners as they cross the finish line!
To get in the spirit and really show our BC SPCA pride we’re asking that you dress in blue and gold (or in BC SPCA swag!) and wear a pair of animal ears… yes you read that right, we’d like to pop on a pair of ears and cheer for the animals.
Feeling creative? Make your own ears using images here (click on the image to open up a full size) – that’s what we’ll be doing! Or pick some fun bunny ears up from your local dollar store.
Want to run in support of the animals we care for? There is still time to register!
