UPS WLD pulled the plane the fastest at the 2015 UPS Plane Pull for United Way!

UPS really knows how to deliver! At the second annual UPS Plane Pull for United Way, 17 teams of 15 people played tug-of-war with a 127,900 pound jet. Teams competed against each other to see who can pull the plane fastest 20 feet down the tarmac at YVR. Awards were given to the best dressed team, the fastest team, and the team who raised the most money. In all, more than $36,000 has been raised for United Way so far, with more money continuing to come in on the fundraising website. UPS is a strong supporter of United Way, and since 2001, has raised more than $1 million each year for United Ways across Canada.
