The Vancouver Whitecaps and BIGLOVEBALL are an obvious match. These professional soccer players have wide open hearts and connect deeply with people through play. We kinda do the same thing.

So when we had an opportunity to blend our enthusiasm for giving back to the community, we were on the same team. 

Without a lot of formality, The VWCs and BLB put together a way to convey LOVE toward community without a lot of talk. On a recent visit to Vancouver Children’s Hospital the guys put aside a few hours to get to know the kids who were sadly on the bench.  Faces lit up on all of us as we used BIGLOVEBALL and bright coloured markers to ease the stress of day to day concern. Sometimes situations are tough and it’s hard to know what to say so we were all grateful to break the ice with a little love. 

A special thank you to Russel Teibert, midfielder, who gets involved with many actions that lift spirit and raise funds in the city of Vancouver. Keep us on speed dial Russell!

  • Hearts on Noses

    Potbellied, or “mini pigs”, were trendy in the ’80”s. People were either confused, misinformed or short sighted when wrapping these beings in boxes with bows and taking them home like toys. Many were left abused and abandoned upon realizing the commitment of caring for them into adulthood.
