Helping kids in the fight of their lives
Our only goal is to raise money to help kids with cancer. Our founding principle is that 100%
of the money must be spent on kids who are being treated for cancer at BC Children's Hospital.
The herring and hake sale set for Saturday, December 7th is CANCELLED.
We are considering a new date in January, but it is too early to make a decision.
THE 2018 HERRING SALE
Thanks to all our generous sponsors, hard-working volunteers and loyal customers for another hugely successful herring sale! Last year we raised $126,00 for a total of over $650,000 since we started in 2011 for kids who are being treated for cancer at BC Children's Hospital.
WHY KIDS' CANCER?
Cancer kills more kids aged 1 to 19 years old than any other disease. Survival rates for many pediatric cancers have improved dramatically in the last 20 years, but some kids’ cancers, along with late-detected cancers, are very difficult or are impossible to cure.
HONORARY CAPTAINS
Our Honorary Captains are kids who lost their fight with cancer. Their stories speak for all kids who have fought cancer or are fighting cancer today.
The best thing about the herring sale is that 100% of the money goes to the kids.
We have the privilege to consult with doctors and oncology staff to find out which programs, activities and items not funded by the hospital are most needed. This helps us ensure that funds can go quickly and directly to improving the quality of life of kids with cancer.
