Community Involvement
Giving back means giving of ourselves.
The idea of putting others first comes naturally to us, from our clients to our neighbours - it's the right thing to do. You'll find us giving back in countless ways, rolling up our sleeves and pitching in to support the organizations that help this community thrive. We invite you to learn more about the educational, civic, social and philanthropic endeavors we support with our time, energy and expertise. If you'd like to be involved, please feel free to contact us to learn more about upcoming events.
Support Jay in The Ride to Conquer Cancer
Jay’s decision to ride is to show our support for all of our clients, friends, and family members who have been affected either directly or indirectly by cancer.
The Ride to Conquer Cancer is a unique, two-day, cycling event that takes place at the end of August each year. During this bold cycling journey, Jay will ride for two days and cover 200+ km through picturesque scenery all the way from Vancouver to Hope.
The money we raise for The Ride to Conquer Cancer will benefit BC Cancer Foundation and support leading clinicians, scientists, and researchers whose search for new discoveries and improved patient outcomes will have a real impact in our communities throughout the province, across Canada, and around the world. In other words, your support will accelerate the conquest of cancer.

Okanagan Dream Rally
With the Okanagan Dream Rally, we hope to provide special children and their families with an incredibly fun-filled experience of being in the hot seat of a dream car for a day. In addition, providing opportunities for our community, public figures, and businesses to support a good cause and make a difference locally in their community.
The 2017 Shaw Okanagan Dream Rally Presented by Auction world will support Autism Okanagan, KidSport, and the Central Okanagan Hospice Association with all funds raised.
Participating children of the Okanagan Dream Rally will have their very own rally car and driver for a day. The community and public observers will partake in the street excitement while the hottest dream cars of the Valley start their engines in Kelowna and circuit through the beautiful parts of the valley including Peachland and Penticton for an experience of a lifetime.
As the Okanagan’s only rally of exotic cars and luxury vehicles, the Okanagan Dream Rally will touch many lives and hearts by giving the special attention and care to families in need on this fun-filled day touring the Okanagan in some of the most beautiful cars of the valley.
