Calling all British Columbia Bees! :  wedding charity vancouver Chips C
(image source)

If you’re like me, or many female Vancouverites between 15 and 50, there’s a good chance you have invested your paychecks heavily in lululemon yoga gear. Now, you can have a chance to win some of that moolah back!

On June 20th, Chip Wilson (the founder of lululemon) is hosting the first annual “Chip’s Not Dead Yet Memorial Mile” - a run up one of 10th most upright hills - to benefit the BC Children’s Hospital. Chip will match entry donations, and is offering cash prizes to the winners.

Moreover, if you run in your wedding dress or a bridesmaid’s dress, you can win a trip to the Bahamas! Not too shabby, I must say!

Read more about the run here.

Sad day that I live in Calgary! (It would probably be ridiculously popular here, too!)

Hilarious! I love it!

I cannot IMAGINE ever running anywhere in a wedding dress - especially up a hill. Whoever wins this totally deserves that trip!

Hi Mrs. Shortcake, great post! Chip’s Not Dead Yet 2009 is around the corner, and we wanted to get you up to speed on what’s happening for the event because, well, we’re excited.

The second annual Chip’s Not Dead Yet Memorial Mile is scheduled to take place on June 20, 2009. Once again, all proceeds will go to the BC Children’s Hospital.

You remember the bridesmaids, rockstars and underwear runner from last year? This time, Chip’s Not Dead Yet wants Vancouver to come up with its own idea for a theme wave. We’re holding a video contest—best theme wave idea wins. Pull your camera out, get a group of family or friends together and make it happen! Submit your video to http://www.cndy.ca before March 2nd, 2009. Participants are eligible to win $1000, or a monthly prize pack.
