On Wednesday, Aug. 12, buccaneers both young and young-at-heart can re-live childhood memories by ordering an adult Pirate Pak at White Spot restaurants while helping special kids go to camp.
For the sixth consecutive year, a toonie from the sale of every Pirate Pak that day will be donated to Zajac Ranch for Children, a local charity that provides kids and young adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities a unique summer camp experience.
Langley White Spot has been the biggest support year after year, selling more adult Pirate Paks than any other White Spot in B.C. and Alberta.
Pirate Pak Day has become an anticipated tradition that has raised $347,172 since its inception, and sent more than 100 kids to camp.
White Spot week at Zajac Ranch runs from Aug. 17 to 21 and includes activities ranging from kayaking and climbing to swimming and horseback riding.
“Pirate Pak Day is a big event for us, one that both our staff and guests look forward to every year,” said White Spot president Warren Erhart. “Money raised on this special day helps young mateys facing difficult challenges. We’ll be dressed up in our best swashbuckling outfits, so come join the merriment.”
Founder of Zajac Ranch Mel Zajac said White Spot has helped put smiles on many campgoers faces.
“White Spot has become integral in our ability to enrich the lives of kids who need support,” says Zajac. “For instance, many of our campers get to ride a horse for the first time in their life.”
On Aug. 12 only, adult Pirate Paks are available for both dine-in and take-out, in four options. They have just introduced a new gluten-free bun to provide more choices to guests.
Each option comes in the nostalgic Pirate Pak boat, with a bounty of fresh-cut ‘endless’ fries, creamy coleslaw, soft drink, premium rich ice cream and of course, the treasured chocolate ‘gold’ coin.
More than 24 million Pirate Paks have been sold since 1968. The most popular Pirate Pak items is the legendary burger and in close second is the macaroni and cheese. The Pirate Pak is 100 per cent recyclable and compostable.
