2011 - YEAR ONE , GENERATED $120,00

2012 – GOAL - $200,000

•The campaign presents an opportunity to everybody involved in the Industry to contribute to their own Hospitality Industry “charity”. •Individuals or teams can participate. Teams can represent Hotels, Pubs, Restaurants, Industry suppliers or

any other establishment or group of like minded individuals.

• During the campaign each team fundraises for the BCHF.

• The way the fundraising is done is left to the team but the concept is that the funds are contributed by members of the industry. Ideas that work and are easy are - “toonie or loose change drives”, 50/50 draws and raffles.

•Teams and individuals are encouraged to register on line at www.TipOutToHelp.com •This web site provides the opportunity for people to send personalised e-mails to colleagues, friends and family requesting support for their fundraising efforts.

• At the end of the campaign each team submits their funds to the BCHF and the totals raised will appear on the on line “scoreboard”.
