Touch a Truck is an annual fundraiser event hosted by Team 4 Hope that benefits paediatric research in B.C.

Kids can get behind the wheel of all kinds of vehicles, from fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances to excavators, dump trucks, and cement trucks.

Team 4 Hope is dedicated to raising awareness of Neuroblastoma, the most common type of cancer to occur in infancy. Around 70 children in Canada are diagnosed with Neuroblastoma each year, and it’s the most common tumour found in children younger than one year of age.

Over the past 7 years, this event has raised more than $86,000 to support critical neuroblastoma research in BC.

This year’s Touch a Truck also includes a BBQ, face painting, a bouncy castle, family activities and the Coast Capital 1K Family Fun Run.
