As you likely already knew, the Canucks for Kids Fund held their annual Telethon last night.
Last night&#8217;s Telethon was the first one held in person since March 10th, 2020, less than a week before the pandemic brought the 2019-20 NHL season to a screeching halt.
As it so often is, the Telethon was a smashing success, and raised $683,114 &#8212; the second-highest amount ever, trailing the 2010 CFKF Telethon grand total of $720,018 by just under 37 thousand.
If you were at the game last night, you may have seen Stan Smyl working at Steamer&#8217;s (the Rogers Arena hot dog stand named after him), and heard in-arena interviews from Daniel Sedin and Brandon Sutter, explaining the importance of the Canucks for Kids Fund, and the Telethon as a whole.
The Canucks for Kids Fund dedicates resources to assist charities that support children&#8217;s health and wellness, foster the development of grassroots hockey, and facilitate and encourage education in BC.
The CFKF has granted more than $76 million to charities that support children&#8217;s health and wellness, education, social impact programming and the development of grassroots hockey throughout BC. The Canucks for Kids Fund&#8217;s core beneficiaries, Canucks Autism Network (CAN), Canuck Place Children&#8217;s Hospice and BC Children&#8217;s Hospital Foundation are providing vital resources and life-saving care to families across this province.
In addition to the Telethon total, last night&#8217;s 50/50 jackpot reached $300,850, and half of the total will be dedicated towards the Sedin Family Foundation and an annual legacy project with the Canucks for Kids Fund, benefiting families across British Columbia.
