For Release Vancouver Sports FOR RELEASE VANCOUVER SPORTS STARS AND PROVINCIAL REC LEADERS TEAM UP FOR FAMILIES WITH AUTISM Vancouver, BC – For the first time in Vancouver sports history, Canucks Autism Network (CAN) will bring all five professional sports teams together with provincial sport organizations for an unforgettable family event. On Sunday, May 12th, from 1:00-4:00 pm, over 250 families living with autism (850 individuals) will hit the field at BC Place for the 7th Annual CAN Sports Day, sponsored by Centaur Products Sports Contracting, The DB Perks Group and BC Place. As in previous years, professional players, alumni and mascots from the Vancouver Canucks, BC Lions, Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Vancouver Canadians will lead activity stations at the multisport event. New this year: The Vancouver Warriors will join the fold alongside BC Rugby, British Columbia Golf, BC Athletics, Tennis BC, Lacrosse BC and Jays Care Foundation Challenger Baseball. Confirmed athletes include: Antoine Roussel & Manny Malhotra - Vancouver Canucks Jake Nerwiknski & Brett Levis – Vancouver Whitecaps FC Jordan Herdman & Claudell Louis – BC Lions Professional sports heroes and community rec leaders alike will lead children, youth and young adults with autism in an unprecedented array of sports activities. In addition to giving CAN participants a truly memorable experience, the hope is to connect hundreds of individuals and families living with autism to a greater range of community-based sports organizations and spark a lifetime of physical activity. “Individuals with autism face many barriers for participating in community recreation,” says Stephanie Jull, Canucks Autism Network’s VP of Programs, Training and Community Engagement. “By uniting an entire community of BC sports leaders, we can work together to take individuals with autism off the sidelines and back into the field of play.” Media are invited to attend between 1:15pm and 3:45 pm and are asked to enter through the East Gate entrance. Players and families will be available for interviews throughout the event. -30- ABOUT CANUCKS AUTISM NETWORK (CAN) Canucks Autism Network (CAN) provides year-round sports and recreation programs for individuals and families living with autism, while increasing awareness and providing training in communities across British Columbia. Founded in 2008 by Vancouver Canucks Co-owners Paolo and Clara Aquilini, CAN’s vision is for every individual with autism to be understood, accepted and supported in all community spaces.

  • Mcdonald's Challenger Celebrity Golf Classic Letterhead
    P.O. Box 30031, RPO Parkgate, North Vancouver, B.C. V7H 2Y3 www.challengergolf.ca Dear Golfer, This is a special year for the McDonald’s Challenger Celebrity Golf Classic as we move towards a major milestone in fund raising. After 16 years, we are on the verge of passing the One Million Dollar mark this year which is such a special moment for us after all these years. Currently we have raised over $940,000 for various children’s charities in BC while creating “A Million Memories” for the kids. We would like to invite you to join us in Celebrating “A Million Memories” on Tuesday, June 13, 2017 at the Meadow Gardens Golf Club, in Pitt Meadows. The McDonalds Challenger Celebrity Golf Classic is the largest annual fund raiser for Challenger Baseball in BC. The Challenger Baseball program gives children with cognitive or physical disabilities, the opportunity to enjoy all the benefits of playing organized baseball “In a league … On a team … In a uniform”, just like their able-bodied peers, while creating “A Million Memories.” It is because of your participation, donations and generous sponsorships that we are able to celebrate “A Million Memories” with all proceeds staying here in BC going to support various children’s charities across the province. The main beneficiary is the BC Challenger Baseball program, but we also support the Canucks for Kids Fund, Ronald McDonald House, and the Vancouver Canadians Baseball Foundation. This event is well known as a fun filled day of “scramble” golf and socializing, while raising funds for some great charities.
