2024 Adopt-a-School

2024 Adopt-a-School

Join the Vancouver Sun Children’s Fund in supporting children and families in need throughout British Columbia.

Our Adopt-a-School campaign has been providing vital support to those in need for more than a decade, and with recent increases in inflation the need has never been greater.

Since our first Adopt-a-School campaign ran in 2011 we have disbursed more than $13 million to schools and community organizations in British Columbia.  Your donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference and have helped support tens of thousands of students each year.

When you donate to the Vancouver Sun Children’s Fund, 100 per cent of your donation goes directly to to help children in need.

Our children are our future. Please donate today and invest in a brighter future for the most vulnerable among them.
