A team of 15 people pulls a plane down the tarmac.
Looking for some free family fun where you can also feel great because you’re helping a good cause? Come out to the third annual UPS Plane Pull for United Way British Columbia, this Saturday from 11 am to 4 pm at 5960 Ferguson Road, Richmond, rain or shine. Cheer on teams of 15 people as they haul a Boeing 757-200 down the runway at the UPS facility at YVR. Kids can flex their muscles too and pull a smaller Cessna. There will be lots of fun free activities like carnival games and face painting and new this year is a “show and shine” featuring cars from 1929 to the present. Food for sale includes White Spot burgers and shakes; and 27 teams will compete. Also new this year, United Way British Columbia’s newest public figure, Seymour the Sea Otter, will make his first public appearance. UPS Canada is a long-time and strong supporter of United Way and for the past 15 years UPS has helped raise more than $1 million each year for United Ways across Canada. This event marks the start of United Way British Columbia’s fall fundraising activities. When you donate to United Way, you help kids be all they can be, build strong communities, and move families from poverty to possibility. You can sponsor an individual or a team. Find out more here.
