Today, White Spot is supporting the Zajac Ranch for Children charity. For every yummy adult Pirate Pak meal sold today White Spot will donate $2 towards supporting children with disabilities. Here is a wonderful article written in the Burnaby Now that sums it up well:
White Spot restaurants throughout the province will be helping adults get in touch with their inner child’s inner pirate later this week, and all for a good cause.
Two dollars from sales of all Pirate Paks – a full meal deal complete with a paper pirate ship, a scoop of ice cream and chocolate gold coin that’s a sentimental favourite for countless B.C. residents under 40 – on the third annual Pirate Pak Day Aug. 18 will be donated to the Zajac Ranch for Children – a charity dedicated to giving children with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities the chance to go to summer camp later this month in Mission. And, for the first time since the iconic restaurant chain launched the maiden Pirate Pak back in 1968 as an exclusive option for kids ages 10 and under, a special edition Adult Pak will debut for grownups who also like to get pirate booty included with a boatload of food.
“Every year we receive an overwhelming number of requests from adults that have craved a Pirate Pak meal since their youth,” said White Spot president Warren Erhart. “”Pirate Pak Day was a huge success last year and we had the privilege of sending many deserving kids to White Spot Week at Zajac Ranch, where they rode horses, kayaked, played water sports and participated in arts and crafts.”
The children’s Pirate Pak costs $5.99 while the adult edition starts at $9.99. Founded in 1928, when Nat Bailey launched Canada’s very first drive-in restaurant in Vancouver, the 82-year-old chain now averages 17 million guests a year at 118 locations throughout B.C. and Alberta.
