2019 Tech Grind for United Way

Registration is now closed.

Thanks to your overwhelming support we’ve surpassed our registrant goal! Unfortunately that means we’ve hit our capacity limits on the mountain and we can no longer accept registrations. You can still help us reach our fundraising goal so visit your team’s fundraising page today.

Hike for a cause!

Vancouver’s tech sector has found a new way to interface.

Tech Grind takes local tech teams up Grouse Mountain - all 2,830 steps, 2.9 km and 853 meters in elevation – and pits them against other Vancouver companies.

Can you hack it?

Donations fuel your team, so be sure to secure your team’s advantage. Reach out to your coworkers, friends and family. Ask in person, Instagram and tweet your #uwtechgrind ask, or email this link to your Tech Grind fundraising page.

Each team must raise a minimum of $500 for United Way. All funds raised will help local kids through United Way School's Out programs.

Race day activities include yoga, great food, chilled beverages and a chance to mix with other members of the tech community before and after the Grouse Grind®! (During the Grind®, all bets are off). We’ll also make sure you get back down the mountain with a complimentary ride on the Grouse Mountain Gondola.

And did we mention... we've got prizes?!

Prizes will be awarded to:

- The fastest male and female up the Grind.
- The team that fundraises the most money for local kids in need.
- Plus individuals that fundraise a minimum $100 will be eligible for great prizes.

Campaign to Support United Way of the Lower Mainland

United Way’s School’s Out programs provide healthy, safe, educational activities so that vulnerable elementary students can make constructive use of their time outside of school, particularly during the critical hours between 3 – 6pm. These programs help vulnerable kids achieve greater academic success, increase their self-confidence and self-esteem, and help them develop positive social behaviours and lifestyles. These programs also provide educational support and homework assistance, physical activity and development, mentoring, social and emotional support, and help at risk kids develop basic life skills.
