Boat for Hope

Variety’s Boat for Hope is an annual event that takes place every June in Victoria, Vancouver and Kelowna. These wonderful and unique experiences provide children who have special needs with a fun-filled day on the water. Local skippers volunteer their time and their boats for a pirate adventure on the high seas!

These events raise significant funds for Variety through the skippers plus corporate and community partners, while at the same time providing a one of a kind experience for children and their families. Since its inception, Boat for Hope has raised over $900,000.

The 2010 events were held June 5th in Victoria, June 12th in Vancouver and June 19th in Kelowna. Thank you to all of our generous sponsors and skippers who made the day possible. Visit our Flickr site for photos of the Vancouver event!
