Support the cause
BUMI X MOTIONBALL 2026
This year, we're putting that energy toward something bigger: a full day of inclusive sport, teamwork, and fundraising alongside Special Olympics BC athletes. Through Motionball Vancouver 2026, which is happening next Saturday, Sept 26, at Swangard Stadium.
YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
This month does more than raise awareness for the Special Olympics movement. It gives people with and without intellectual disabilities the chance to play together, build lifelong friendships, and shape more inclusive communities, one game at a time.
Every dollar you give goes straight to that work. Donate to Team BUMI's Motionball today, and be part of it.
YOUR IMPACT
70% of funds raised go to Provincial Chapters, 25% to the Special Olympics Canada Foundation for long-term stability, and 5% to the #NoGoodWay Campaign to eliminate the R-word.
Why Motionball
This One's For My Brother, Michael
A note from Kevin, Co-owner of BUMI: For the past nine years, I've fundraised for Special Olympics BC in honour of my brother, Michael. He's no longer with us, but he's the reason I show up for this cause every single year. In 2026, BUMI is joining Motionball Vancouver's Marathon of Sport for the first time, and every dollar raised carries his memory forward.
#NoGoodWay
There is #NoGoodWay to use the R-Word
Join 20,000+ Canadians and show your support for Special Olympics athletes and all Canadians living with an intellectual disability by committing to not use the r-word in everyday conversation.
