Join us Saturday June 6th 2015 from 12-4pm, and help make the impossible, possible!
The 2nd Annual UPS Plane Pull involves teams of 15 people pulling a UPS Boeing 757 plane down the tarmac at YVR while raising funds for United Way. Last year’s event was a huge success with over 500 people in attendance and over $16,000 raised for those in need in the Lower Mainland. All dollars raised will be included in UBC`s fundraising total for 2015.
Whether pulling the plane or cheering from the sidelines, there are plenty of family-friendly activities to keep everyone entertained including a plane pull for kids (pre-registration is not required) carnival games, bouncy castle, a dunk tank, tours of the UPS plane, face painting, food, and more!
Teams can have as many employees, friends and family members fundraising as you like and your team is responsible for determining who the 15 plane pullers will be. Creative team costumes are encouraged and prizes will be awarded for the best dressed team, fastest team, the top fundraising team and top individual fundraiser.
Here are the details:
- Saturday, June 6. 12:00pm – 4:00pm
