Who doesn’t want to skip deciding what’s for dinner? Now imagine not having to worry about dishes either – while supporting a great BC charity at the same time! From February 18-21, 2025, when you buy a burger at White Spot, you’ll be helping to make a real difference in the lives of BC families. It’s an easy way to enjoy a meal while giving back!
Skip the dishes, support a BC Charity
BC’s iconic restaurant chain is turning burgers into a catalyst for change with its latest fundraising initiative in support of Variety – the Children’s Charity. From February 18 to 21, $2 from every burger sold – whether for dine-in, or takeout – will go directly toward helping children and youth in BC with disabilities and complex medical needs.
This initiative allows families to enjoy White Spot’s famous burgers while making a meaningful impact. Every delicious bite supports children and families who rely on Variety for essential programs, services, and more that they may not otherwise have access to.
White Spot has been a proud supporter of Variety since 1966, raising more than $2 million through various fundraising efforts. This year’s campaign leads into Variety’s Show of Hearts Telethon airing on Global BC, on Sunday, February 23 – an event White Spot has championed since its inception. Beyond fundraising, White Spot team members also volunteer their time to provide meals to the event crew.
“At White Spot, giving back to the community isn’t just something we do – it’s part of who we are,” said Trent Carroll, president of White Spot. “We’re honoured to support Variety’s mission and provide our guests with the opportunity to make a real difference, all while enjoying great burgers together.”
Variety plays an essential role in the lives of BC families by providing support that healthcare systems may not be able to reach. Through a range of services, Variety ensures that children have access to life-changing resources, including medical equipment, therapies, and specialized care. In addition, Variety offers financial assistance and educational resources to empower families, helping them navigate and address their children’s unique needs.
“We are incredibly grateful for our longstanding partnership with White Spot,” says Andrea Tang, CEO of Variety the Children’s Charity. “With deep roots in the BC community, White Spot shares our commitment to making a life-changing impact for children and families. Right now, too many kids are waiting for the critical supports they need to thrive. Thanks to White Spot’s generosity, we can reach more families and provide the essential therapies, resources, and equipment kids need—when they need it most. Together, we are changing lives.”
White Spot has long been a dedicated partner in supporting BC families, with one of their largest annual fundraisers for Zajac Ranch well known as “Pirate Pak Day”. This event has raised over $1,000,000, helping to provide children and young adults with serious illnesses and chronic disabilities the opportunity to experience an unforgettable summer camp experience at Zajac Ranch. Through this support, Zajac Ranch offers specialized programs that promote healing, personal growth, and a sense of community for these families.
For 97 years, White Spot has remained deeply connected to the communities it serves. Supporting children’s charities has long been at the heart of the company’s values, and this fundraiser is another way guests can be part of that tradition.
From February 18 to 21, White Spot encourages families to pop in, savour their favourite burgers, and be part of something bigger: Helping create brighter futures for kids in need.
