Organize a Community Event

Is your birthday coming up? Ask your friends and family to donate to BCSSF in lieu of a gift.

Are you an athlete? Walk, swim, bike, hike, or kayak for a good cause. Collect pledges from your friends, colleagues, neighbours, and family.

Do you have a special talent? Host a bake sale, art auction, or craft fair in honour of families struggling with severe mental illness.

Have a great fundraising idea but don’t know where to start? We are here to support you! We can help you create a fun and rewarding event or you can dedicate the proceeds of an existing event to BC Schizophrenia Society Foundation.

Call 250-732-1876 or email development@bcss.org
