In addition to directing annual campaigns, the Foundation Board spearheads a variety of special events to raise funds. It raises money for the Bruce Nicoll Memorial Scholarship Fund and the B.C. Special Olympics. The Notable Event is a semi-formal dinner, dance and silent auction held in March each year. The Truck Lottery is a mega-lottery run under a licence granted by the B. C. Gaming Commission. The lottery features a transport truck as its grand prize.
Winners have the option of taking the truck or a cash prize.
Money from the lottery goes primarily toward the purchase of much needed equipment in such College Departments as Diesel, Graphic Arts and Printing Production, Hairstyling and Esthetics and many more. Employees participate through voluntary payroll deductions. The funds raised go to provide entrance scholarships for local high school graduates, dependents of College employees and bursaries for VCC students. The Awards Ceremonies provide an excellent opportunity to recognize our various donors and honour outstanding acheivements.
