THE PENDER ISLANDS FOUNDATION
community-led. future-focused.
Pender Island is a close-knit community where health, wellness, and connection shape quality of life. Many local organizations rely on volunteers and inconsistent funding, making it difficult to
plan for the future.
The Pender Islands Foundation was created to change that — providing stable, local support for initiatives that strengthen community well-being. Our goal is simple: to help ensure that people of all ages and abilities on Pender Island can thrive in body, mind, and community.
To launch this work, we are proud to introduce the Run, Walk, Wheel for Wellness, an annual community event celebrating movement, connection, and giving back.
The inaugural event will take place on June 20, 2026, and will include:
● 5K and 10K trail runs
● A 2K Community Walk for Wellness along the new Schooner Way–School Trail
The 2K walk is the heart of the event. 100% of registration proceeds will go directly to a local organization, with the Foundation matching funds to increase the impact. In its first year, all proceeds will support the Pender Islands Health Centre
Join us in building a healthier, more connected Pender Island — together.
