Cyrus Centre's 17th Annual Tandem Skydive

Thursday July 9, 2026

Location

Skydive Vancouver 5112 Gladwin Road Abbotsford, BC V4X 1X8

Skydive with purpose. Help a young person land somewhere safe.

Leap of Faith is Cyrus Centre’s annual tandem skydive fundraiser that raises funds for youth housing in our community. No experience is required, and every jump is guided by a certified instructor.

Why people say YES!

  • Some people sign up because they have always wanted to skydive.
  • Some sign up because they care about youth in our community.
  • Many sign up because this gives them a clear, practical way to do both.

Whatever your reason, you're welcome here.

Leap of Faith is a supported experience with a clear purpose.

  • You will be guided through the jump.
  • Your fundraising will help fund housing and support for youth preparing for independence.

Some participants report feeling nervous at first. Many also say they are glad they did it.

A Bridge to Independence
For a young person (16–24) experiencing homelessness and instability, "landing" isn't a metaphor—it's a necessity.

Leap of Faith supports Home at Last, Cyrus Centre’s supportive housing program for youth aged 16–24.

The program provides a structured bridge between emergency shelter and independent living.

Residents get access to:

• A shared home with affordable rent
• Groceries and household essentials
• Consistent staff support
• Help finding employment
• Support returning to school
• Guidance securing long-term housing

THE IMPACT OF YOUR FUNDRAISING
$800
= Covers one full week of transitional housing and support for one youth. Safe housing. Groceries. Daily mentorship.
$1,600 = Supports two youth for a full week
$3,200 = Supports four youth for a full week.
The Collective Goal: Together, we aim to raise $200,000 this year. This secures the entire Home at Last program for 2026, ensuring no young person is turned away.

Ready to Take the Leap?

1. Register.
2. Set your fundraising goal (minimum $800)
3. Invite friends and family to support your jump.

Together, we can ensure youth in our community have a safe place to live while they prepare for independence.

Together, we’re creating safe places to land
