UNITED WAY OF THE LOWER MAINLAND AND COURAGE FOR KIDS PROGRAM

In 2009, the BC Lions continued their partnership with United Way of the Lower Mainland in support of our Courage For Kids program.

More than 6,000 children were be given the opportunity to attend a BC Lions home game this season thanks to the generosity of our Courage For Kids sponsors as well as the United Way of the Lower Mainland.

EVERY YARD COUNTS

In 2010, the BC Lions will continue to partner with BC Children's Hospital for the Every Yard Counts program. This initiative provides an opportunity for children to attend a BC Lions home game, allowing them to get away from their treatment schedules and the everyday battles they fight.

While the children get an opportunity to experience the excitement and emotion of a CFL game, they also have a chance to meet some of the BC Lions players face-to-face. The interactions have far-reaching effects by creating feelings of hope and happiness, making it an enjoyable and rewarding program for everyone involved.
