With many charity events across the province and even the country going virtual, one local organization is ensuring their most famed event still lives on – and lives on in a big way!
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 has re-imagined their campaign due to these interesting times, but with the same common goal – creating life-changing wishes for Vancouver Island children, and allowing YOU the chance to win big at the same time!
