Grouse Grind: Grind For Kids
Grind For Kids is a new event that leverages the enthusiasm of the thousands of people in the Lower Mainland that do the Grouse Grindâ„¢ on a regular basis. People sign up and ask friends, family and co-workers pledge $1 or more for every Grouse Grind they do between June and October. At the end of the season participants will share their success with the people who have pledged them and request they fulfill their pledges.
How It Works
With your $20 registration fee, you will get an official Grind For Kids Timer Card at Grouse Mountain Guest Services. Simply swipe the timer at the base of the Grind before you start and at the top when you finish. You will be able to go to your personal donation page to track your progress at any time!
Enjoy complimentary bag-check service, which means your bag will be waiting for you at the top when you finish the Grind!
You will also be eligible for weekly prizes. The more Grinds you do, the better your odds of winning!
Raise $1000 or more and you’ll receive a limited edition Grind for kids Merrell shirt.
Help raise a mountain of money for BC Children’s Hospital!
