Fall Fair & 24Hr Walkathon
Saturday, Oct 19, 2024

This year, Cody & Megan are tackling the critical issue of local food security and championing projects that foster a healthy, sustainable food system in our community. True to their spirit, they believe in earning their support, which is why they’re embarking on a 24-hour walk— a staggering 100,000 steps!— and hosting a mini fall fair on Saturday, October 19th. They’re thrilled to partner with One Straw and are eagerly looking forward to a fun-filled day with a bake-off, market, and pumpkin carving contest at the Seaside Center.

MAKE A DONATION

Hi Everyone!

Cody and I are back at it again. In 2021 when we started the Climb for Climate Change challenge, we walked 115 kilometers from Gibsons to Powell River and managed to raise over $30,000 total for the SPCA (Sechelt Branch) and the BC Sustainable Energy Association.

Since then we keep coming up with physical challenges to inspire and bring awareness to environmental causes in our community on the Sunshine Coast. Check out our past activities and don’t forget to donate to our latest cause.

Meet Our Causes

This is our 3rd year of fundraising for non-profit organizations on the Sunshine Coast. Through grants and generous donations by you (our supporters), we have managed to raise around $80,000.00 to support local and BC-wide organizations.

This year we are supporting the Loon Foundation in Madeira Park. The funds will be used for solar panels to help decrease their operating costs and so they can be “greener” on the Sunshine Coast. Thanks again for all your support!

Fall Fair Fun

Pumpkin Carving Contest

Carve at home and bring your finished masterpiece pumpkin to the Seaside Center by 1:30 on Saturday. Categories and prizes for adults (17+), teens (13-16), and kids up to 12.

We’ll be able to see your pumpkin in the light and in the dark to get the best effects, so be creative, have fun & best of luck!

Register at the door with pumpkin in hand!

Winners announced at 2:00pm, with prizes of $200 gift cards for adults, & $100 gift cards for kids & teens.

The Great Sunshine Coast Bakeoff

The Great Sunshine Coast Bake-Off has prizes valued at over $1,000 for first place for adults, and $200 in gift cards for teens (sorry littles, food safe means no entry on this one, but you can enter the pumpkin carving)! Got a family-famous pie recipe? Sign up and bring in your beautiful, ghoulish, or hilarious-looking cake, cupcakes, or pie for the world to see (and taste)! Entries are open to ages 13+ for each category and will be judged by local expert bakers & pastry chefs.
