Past Fundraising Events |
PKU Poker Run In September 2014 Chris and Angel Krauskopf welcome their daughter, Delilah, into the world. At five days old, Delilah was diagnosed with PKU. In Celebration of Delilah’s first birthday her parents and grandmother Deb Brown; Finance Coordinator with Hamilton Health Sciences, created the PKU FUND. The PKU FUND is specifically used for patient amenities such as; group celebrations, cooking demonstrations and resource materials. In 2016, the passion continued with Delilah’s grandfather Gene Edwards. Gene is a member of the IRONHAWKS motorcycle club. The club organized a ride to celebrate PKU patients, families and friends. The first run that July donated $2000 to the PKU FUND at McMaster Children’s Hospital. In 2017, this loving family expanded their reach and included CanPKU+ in their fundraising efforts. PKU patients, families and friends stand by the roadside waiting in anticipation for the riders to pass by. What a sight to see and experience. CanPKU+ president, John Adams, attended the second year with informational materials. A donation of $1000 was given to Camp MagniPHEque and a second gift to PKU FUND was donated. "At the beginning of the ride as the bikers cruise by, they greet us all the with smiles, waves and honking horns as they continued their journey. That very moment is one that will never be forgotten and we look forward to next year’s event." The tradition continued in 2018 with both locations being recipients of the valued donations. It is an exciting annual tradition. Unfortunately, COVID 19 cooled this event for a bit, but we are excited to see if it returns. It is a wonderful event; not only for the funds they raise, but the sense of community they continue to grow! 2016 Peter Wardell’s Boston Marathon Determined to fulfill his lifelong goal of running a marathon and helping raise funds for two different disorders near and dear to his heart, CanPKU+ was thrilled to receive a donation from Peter Wardell in May 2016. Peter raised a whopping $3,858 for CanPKU+ and had this to say:
| Paint Night This fundraiser was held in Sparwood, BC and included light refreshments. Tickets were $45 each, with $25 of that going to CanPKU+! Rosie P. chose the image to be painted.
This was an amazingly unique fundraiser that allowed Rosie's mom, Nicole, to enjoy the evening as someone else ran the event for her once the registration was completed. We think they did a great job and applaud them for thinking outside the box on this fundraiser! Thank you to Rosie, Nicole & all attendees for the donation!! PKU Walkathon Kamloops Artetvino Fundraiser for CanPKU! This event offered an inspiring and stress-free, guided painting session, and supported CanPKU+ at the same time! Instructions were given by a Professional Art Therapist and all materials were provided. Those who attended this fun event left with their very own masterpiece! This event was held in Quebec. The admission fee was $35.00 per person. Artetvino donated $10.00 of each charge collected to The Canadian PKU & Allied Disorders Inc. Space was limited to 40 participants. Thank you to Artetvino for this fundraiser! 2014 Avery’s Ride for PKU PKU uncle, Kevin Dube, cycled across Canada in 71 days, through all weather and terrains in the summer of 2014 to raise awareness in honour of his niece, Avery. He was determined to make a difference for Avery and all those living with PKU. The route included every provincial capital and the 16 cities with a PKU-treating clinic. Ultimately, this project generated dozens of media opportunities and raised over $50,000 for CanPKU+. In 2015, CanPKU+ presented Kevin Dube with our Hero of PKU Award. Check out his appearace on Breakfast Television Read the Avery's Ride Press Release - Jan 31, 2014 for full details. Other Fundraisers Over the years we have seen many different fundraisers.
