Pink Shirt day is Feb 25

Bullying is a major problem in our schools, workplaces, homes, and over the Internet.

On Feb 25 UFV encourages everyone to wear something pink to symbolize that we as a community will not tolerate bullying anywhere.

Join UFV’s community partner Coast Capital to stand up against bullying. For the third year in a row, they are a presenting partner of the province-wide anti-bulling initiative, Pink Shirt Day.

The event itself, that originated in 2007 when two Nova Scotia boys and a group of friends wore pink shirts to stick up for another boy who was being bullied, takes place on February 25. Get your official t-shirt and stand alongside us as we turn the province pink on the 25th.

In the lead up to the main event, Coast Capital launched the inaugural #PinkItForward social media campaign. We are hoping that you will help us promote positivity by pinking it forward (#PinkItForward) to colleagues, family and friends in the coming days.

Here’s how it works:

Share something you appreciate, admire or find unique about your friends or loved ones on social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) include a photo and make sure to tag that friend.
Use the campaign hashtag #PinkItForward
Coast Capital Savings will then donate $1* to the CKNW Orphans’ Fund in support of Pink Shirt Day and anti-bullying programs for youth across Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and the Island.
This is your chance to brag about your awesome colleague, your mom, your sibling, heck, even your pet, and give back to your community in one fell swoop.

*Up a maximum of $45,000
