With many charity events across the province and even the country cancelled, one local organization is pulling out all the stops to ensure their fundraising efforts go full steam ahead – in the safest way possible for everyone involved!
Make-A-Wish BC & Yukon has not only taken their popular Vancouver Island UnWined event to a whole other level, they’re also offering an epic 50/50 draw that you can partake in from the comfort of your own home.
Dubbed UnWined Outside, the popular children’s charity is giving away an incredible prize package of an entire patio party (worth over $3500!), just in time to kick off the summer.
