SPAM CUP 2024
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 November 6th until 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. Then on December 10th, we will come together at the Calgary Food Bank's 2nd Warehouse (1350 42nd Ave SE) for our traditional SPAM Cup Food Sorting Competition for a chance to take the lead with extra points, and to announce who this year’s award winners are as we present the YYC Tech Gives Fundraising total.

2024
Competition
Like SPAM Cup 2023, this year's SPAM Cup will stretch across The Calgary Food Bank’s pillars of giving: Money, and Food from Monday, November 6th through Wednesday, December 6th.
In focusing on these pillars, YYC Tech Gives participants will be scored on a points system that will offer points that correspond with each initiative, and the SPAM cup will be awarded on December 10th to the Company that scores the highest overall points. We will wrap up the month-long campaign in true SPAM Cup style with a food sorting competition at the Calgary Food Bank's 2nd Warehouse (1350 42nd Ave SE) for a chance to win extra points and take the lead in the campaign. We will be parking in the volunteer parking lot at 5601 11 St SE and have a shuttle bring us to the warehouse.
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.
