2) Life’s greatest memories often occur in costume.
Odd pair, I know, but they are complimentary lessons in the case of Chip’s Not Dead Yet! Dubbed as “The Funnest Charity Race Alive,” Chip’s Not Dead Yet is a BC Children’s Hospital Fundraiser that expects to bring together approximately 5000 people on Saturday June 20th for themed races, live entertainment, a beer garden, and the summer’s biggest street party! Not to mention the prizes! Ohh, the prizes.
