Vancouver, BC – The Vancouver Canucks and Canucks for Kids Fund (CFKF) are pleased to announce that proceeds from the 50/50 raffle for tonight's game on March 24th at 7:00pm against the Anaheim Ducks will benefit the Sedin Family Foundation (SFF) through their ongoing partnership to support an annual initiative serving families across British Columbia.

The Sedin Family Foundation was established in 2013 by Henrik & Johanna and Daniel & Marinette Sedin to support children's health and education with a focus on family wellness in communities throughout the province of British Columbia. The Foundation partners with schools, community groups, and social service agencies to identify needs and find creative and unique ways to make a difference for children and families. Projects have been funded in communities including Surrey, Vancouver, Victoria, the District of Kent, Port Hardy, Abbotsford, and Kelowna.
“Daniel and Henrik Sedin’s legacy in Vancouver extends far beyond the game of hockey and into the heart of our community,” said Michael Doyle, President, Canucks Sports & Entertainment, Business Operations. “We encourage fans to come together on this special night to help raise vital funds for children and families who need it most. We are proud to donate the proceeds of our 50/50 raffle to the Sedin Family Foundation and support their meaningful initiatives.”
Last year, the funds raised supported the northern communities of Tatla Lake, Prince George, Valemount, Fort St. James, Nechako Lakes, Chetwynd, Vanderhoof and Williams Lake. School food programs, clothing, necessities, and community food banks were the areas with the greatest need. By providing consistent access to food and essentials, this helps reduce barriers, foster independence, and strengthen connections between school and home, creating a more supportive and caring school community.
“We are very grateful that again this year the proceeds from today’s CFKF 50/50 will be directed to the Sedin Family Foundation,” said Henrik Sedin. “Our continued partnership with the Canucks and Canucks for Kids Fund enables us to support many families across British Columbia at a time when the need is unprecedented.”
“Our schools in British Columbia are working hard to support their students and families every day. We’re fortunate to be able to contribute to the food programs in schools that are so important for success in learning”, said Daniel Sedin. “We really appreciate how Canucks fans support the 50/50 and our work helping communities and the people throughout the province.”
To date, the joint initiative between the CFKF and the Sedin Family Foundation has invested more than $450,000 in communities across British Columbia. Through its continued partnership with the Canucks, the Foundation looks forward to deepening its support for families throughout the province.
