British Columbia, Canada – ILWU Local 502 has embarked upon their 2nd annual Children’s Hospital fundraiser. In just a few weeks they raised $15,000 and are well on their way to beat last year’s total of $20,502. A challenge has been issued to all groups and Unions to meet or beat their total for this great community cause. Local 502 will be making a presentation at the annual Children’s Hospital Telethon which will be broadcast live on Global TV on June 2 and 3.
An added incentive for the members this year has been a Vancouver Canucks jersey signed by the team to help with the fundraising. Hockey is a very popular sport in this region and the jersey is a hot commodity. The Canucks won first place in the NHL the past two seasons.
