STEP UP FOR THE CAUSE – June 2026
REGISTER HERE: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/peer-to-peer/step-up-for-the-cause–2026-2
Plan to take part in this year’s Step Up for the Cause to help the TEAL Charitable Foundation celebrate 40 years of giving. In honour of the 40th Anniversay, the TCF has set a fundraising goal of $4,000 for this year’s event. Your support and participation can make a real difference in the life of a refugee student.
The TEAL Charitable Foundation was established by BC TEAL in 1986 to “promote the teaching and learning of English as an additional language”. This year TCF has rebranded the former Climb for the Cause event as Step up for the Cause to raise funds for refugee ELL students who wish to study at a post-secondary institution in British Columbia.
This is an excellent team-building activity for friends, colleagues and students! Put your team together, set a fundraising goal, and step up and out together. The team and individual with the greatest fundraising total will win a prize!
There will be prizes!
- Fundraise $200+: TCF insulated water bottle
- Top individual fundraiser: $200 in gift cards
- Top team: $50 per person up to $500 for a restaurant of their choice
