Tom Shipman, NABS West Board Chair graciously accepts a cheque in the amount of $2,000 from Bob Wilson, President, Abcom along with Angelica Anderson, Mediacom Canada at the Abcom Holiday Luncheon on December 9, 2011 which raised funds to support a NABS father and his four sons who are struggling financially while their father battles cancer and has only been able to work intermittently for the past year. Special thanks to Telus, who also generously donated 4 brand new laptops for the boys, so they could continue their studies at school with the latest in technology.

Bring out your iPhones and Androids for the Van City Shootout Photo-Scavenger Hunt

Date postponed to: May 17th, 2012

Presented by 6S Marketing on behalf of NABS West
Help raise money for the National Advertising Benevolent Society (NABS) while competing against other Vancouver agencies for bragging rights in this action-packed photo-scavenger hunt charity event.

How does the Scavenger Hunt work?
Teams of 4 will be required to obtain as many photos of the team doing a pre-selected list of photo-ops, each with their own point levels. The photos must then be uploaded to the team’s Twitter account with the hash tag #VanCityShootOut to be considered as successfully completed and eligible for points. The team that obtains the most photos with the highest value of points wins! Teams will be emailed the list of required photos the day before the event.

Be sure to follow the @VanCityShootOut Twitter account for the latest event details!
