Kevin Nunn’s 24-hour Ride
Nobody has energy (or determination) like End2End rider Kevin Nunn. As a prelude to June’s relay, he’ll embark on a 24-hour solo cycle around UVic’s Ring Road, starting at noon on Friday, March 27. Swing by and cheer him on (and maybe make a donation). More details to come.
Port Hardy Dance - March 28
Port Hardy has been a BIG supporter of End2End, so Victoria band Big Font, made up of members of the End2End family, is travelling north to the fun end of the Island to play a March 28 family dance at the civic centre. Tickets $10 for those aged 12 and up, $5 for those 11 and under are available at Scotiabank in Port Hardy or by e-transferring mabelscrew@gmail.com
Galaxy Gives
Throughout April: Not only are our friends at Galaxy Motors providing End2End with a fleet of support vehicles during June’s relaying, they’re also donating a portion of the money from April’s automobile sales to the cause. Galaxy personifies End2End’s motto: Islanders helping Islanders.
Music Bingo at the Fernwood Inn
Only 60 tickets -- $30 each -- are available for an amazing night of fun, laughs, great conversation and awesome prizes.
Battle of the Dad Bands - April 11
Head to the Capital Ballroom and turn up the party at this year’s Battle of the Dad Bands – a no-holds-barred rock showdown where weekend warriors become self-proclaimed virtuosos. Three dad-powered bands – Last Night In Vegas, Not 4 Public Consumption and Big Font -- hit the stage bringing big riffs, driving beats, and the kind of music that reminds you why live rock and roll never gets old. Advance tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for students, $30 at the door.
Brothers Barbershop - April 12
Brothers Barbershop at 770 Fort St. doesn’t usually open on Sundays, but it will on April 12 when they’ll be offering haircuts by donation from 10-4. A nice giving-back-to-the-community gesture by a shop founded by two brothers who arrived as refugees from the war in Kosovo.
Courtenay Golf Tournament
Play beautiful Crown Isle, then stick around for great food and music. Shotgun start at 1:30 p.m. Tickets available here soon. For more information email end2endcvgolf@gmail.com
end2end Blend - ongoing
Our great friends at Drumroaster in Cobble Hill have provided some amazing End2End blend coffee beans. Bags are available for purchase at the Trek Bicycle Store and all associated end2end events for $20. All the proceeds support End2End!
Paws2Paws
Attention Comox Valley: The Tsolum Veterinary Hospital in Merville is donating 100 per cent of dog wash proceeds (just buy a $12 token and plunk your pooch in the facility’s automatic dog wash) to End2End. This cause is deeply personal for practice owner and childhood cancer survivor Nicole Garneau.
Upside Cookies for a Cause
CHEK’s Upside guys, Ed Bain and Jeff King, are riding in this year’s End2End relay. You can support their efforts by buying Upside Cookies for a Cause at Old Farm Market locations in Oak Bay (2585 Cadboro Bay Rd.), Courtenay (660 England Ave.) and Duncan (5164 Francis St.). The cookies come in four flavours – M&M, chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and white chocolate macadamia – and sell in bags of 8 for $4.99, or bags of 12 for $6.99.
Kathy's Call Out - Ongoing
The first fundraising effort of the 2026 campaign might be the most poignant. Victoria’s Kathy Ilott, long active in the fight against childhood cancer and a good friend to many in the End2End family, has responded to her own cancer diagnosis by urging people to give to the cause.
