SPAM CUP 2025
The SPAM Cup recognizes the team that shows up big, competes hard and embodies the spirit of what YYC Tech Gives is all about. In keeping with the success of last year's efforts to raise food, funds, and time for the Calgary Food Bank, we will be awarding the coveted SPAM Cup trophy to the team that shows up ‘the biggest’. It’s not about which team raises the most food, funds, or time, but rather which team comes together in a big way across all the pillars of giving. We are looking for the most creative ways to support the Food Bank that really go above and beyond to engage staff and the community to make a difference.
From October 17th to December 6th, you will have the opportunity to raise as much food (cereal, canned food, baby formula, pasta sauce), and funds as you can in support of the Calgary Food Bank. In Mid-December the Top 20 Teams will come together at the Calgary Food Bank’s Second Warehouse (1350 42nd AVE SE) for the SPAM Cup Food Sorting Competition! This is your team’s opportunity to take the lead with extra points! We will be announcing the YYC Tech Gives Fundraising total and presenting this year's awards.

The awards
The Heavy Lifter Award will go to the team that can accumulate the largest weight of food. From November 6th until December 6th, we challenge you and your team to see how many food items you can collect. All items will need to be dropped off at the Calgary Food Bank's main warehouse, 5000 11 Street SE (Door 7).
Traditionally the SPAM Cup recognizes the team that shows up, competes hard and embodies the spirit of what YYC Tech Gives is all about. The coveted trophy will be awarded to the team that shows up ‘big’. It’s not about who raises the most food items, funds, or time, but rather who comes together in a big way across all the pillars of giving. We are looking for the most creative ways that teams support the Food Bank and really go above and beyond to engage their staff and the community to make a difference. The SPAM Cup winner will be announced on December 10th at the Food Sorting Competition.
