It鈥檚 going to be an 鈥渁ll hands on deck鈥� day for kids and kids at heart this month as White Spot brings back their special annual fundraiser. Pirate Pak Day will take place at White Spot locations across B.C. on Wednesday, Aug. 14.
For this one day only, grownups can also enjoy the combo platter served in a cute cardboard boat, and it鈥檚 all for a terrific cause. That鈥檚 because for every adult and kid Pirate Pak (and select entrees) sold that day, White Spot will make a $2 donation to the Zajac Ranch for Children.
It鈥檚 the 10th anniversary of Pirate Pak Day, which has raised $780,776 since its inception and has sent more than 400 children to the fully-inclusive summer camp, Zajac Ranch, where everything is accessible for children with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities.
鈥淧irate Pak Day is a fundraiser that both guests and staff look forward to every year,鈥� says White Spot President Warren Erhart. 鈥淚t not only lets adults be a kid again and relive those trips to White Spot to enjoy a Pirate Pak, it also allows us to send very deserving children to camp so they can make memories of their own as well.鈥�
On Aug. 14, Pirate Paks are available for both dine-in and take-out. Adults can customize their Pirate Paks and veer off course from the kids鈥� menu, subbing in the traditional Legendary Burger for any of the following items:
- BC Chicken Burger
- Bacon Cheddar Burger
- Veggie Burger
- Dippin鈥� Chicken
- The White Spot Club
- The Spot鈥檚 Fish & Chips
- Nat鈥檚 Original Beef Dip
We all know the Pirate Pak 鈥� that iconic cardboard boat holding a main dish and a side and that cherished doubloon (aka a gold chocolate coin), served with a soft drink and a scoop of ice cream for dessert. The Pirate Pak , delighting young White Spot diners since its inception in 1968, when founder Nat Bailey 听wanted 鈥渢o provide a unique dining experience for children aged 10 and under,鈥澨�.
