CHARITY
THE CALGARY FOOD BANK

Event Driven
Each year, YYCTech Gives members plan various fundraisers and events to raise food, funds and time for the Calgary Food Bank. The Spam Cup, is a friendly month-long competition, focusing on these three areas of need, to gain the most points to claim the Spam Cup title. It culminates with a food sorting competition (for extra points!) at the Food Bank's Warehouse with the CBC EyeOpener broadcasting live.
