“This is really an event that celebrates community. It’s always exciting to see what happens when people from all walks of life come together to do something positive,” said Stephen Miller, president and CEO Easter Seals B.C.-Yukon.

Money from the event are used to fund B.C. Easter Seals summer camps.
