2020 Gala Cancellation

Due to Covid-19

It is with very heavy hearts that instead of our scheduled PURICA Foundation Gala theme announcement we are unfortunately announcing its cancellation for this November 2020 due to the current Covid-19 pandemic.

We are crossing our fingers that we are able to pick up where we left off next year and continue our support for Cowichan Valley Youth Services and the desperate need for a full service Youth Hub.

Our previous fundraising efforts have been made possible at the hands of our very generous donors, sponsors, and gala guests.

💗PLEASE SUPPORT LOCAL💗 as fundraising is not possible without the generosity of our local businesses!!!

Keep a look out as we will be hitting the streets starting in September, which would be our regular campaigning period to show our love and support for both CVYS and the businesses that graciously supported them in 2019!

Until then, we would like to wish you all a safe and healthy summer.💚

Love,

The PURICA Foundation

Cowichan Valley Youth Services

Imagine Building A Youth Center That Creates:

A safe place for youth to gather and come for support!
An accessible building where a coordinated spectrum of service providers can share space, collaborate and offer single point of access and wrap around services for children, youth and families.
Greater financial strength, efficiency, infrastructure cost control and sustainability for CVYS with room to grow as the Cowichan Community Center old pool lobby, viewing area and changerooms will be transformed into the updated and fully functioning Youth Hub!
Reduce administrative costs and maximize resources.
Donations do not go towards operational costs. CVYS has been fully operational for 46 years!

The PURICA Foundation will be continuing to share with you the importance of this HUB and the extraordinary dedication that the team at CVYS provides to our Valley’s youth.

“Invest in our youth for our community’s future”

The Purica Foundation Committee

The Purica Foundation is managed by a 11-person-strong committee that successfully blends a wide-range of skills and talents, including financial management, marketing, fundraising, communications, graphic design, visual arts and performing arts.

Committee members share an unwavering commitment to help others to reach their full potential and to work as a team to create positive long-lasting change in our Cowichan communities.

Purica is a whole foods and natural supplements company based in Duncan BC, serving over 3000 retailers across Canada and have ventured into the United States and overseas.

With so much support from their community, founders Trevor, Marnie, Jason and Anna Watkin wanted to give back in a meaningful way and created the Purica Foundation, a fund held with the Victoria Foundation, designed to generate charitable donations, fundraising initiatives, and promotional support for key community initiatives.

The Purica Foundation fundraising committee is excited to announce that the recipient of its donation this year will be the Cowichan Valley Youth Services.
