White Spot’s Treasured Pirate Pak Day Sails for One Day Only on August 14
24 Julio 2024 - 10:00AM
Ahoy mateys!
White Spot calls all hands on
deck for the return of
Pirate Pak Day taking place
at 51 participating White Spot restaurants throughout B.C. on
Wednesday, August 14. Now in its 12th year, the
annual event welcomes guests of all ages to partake in one of
B.C.’s most cherished childhood traditions and a legendary dining
experience, all while supporting a great cause: the
Zajac
Ranch for Children.
Since its creation in 1968, White Spot’s Pirate Pak has become a
beloved staple for millions of ‘Little Mateys’ aged 10 and under.
For one day only on Pirate Pak Day, Mateys young and young at heart
(yes, adults included!) can order this iconic ship-shaped meal.
Best of all, $2 from the sale of every Pirate Pak sold that day
will be donated to Zajac Ranch, a B.C.-based charity dedicated to
providing children and young adults with serious illnesses and
chronic disabilities an unforgettable summer camp experience.
“We’re all about families at White Spot. Delivering great guest
experiences and giving back to the community is integral to who we
are,” said Trent Carroll, President of the
award-winning, B.C.-based restaurant brand. “Pirate Pak Day is a
treasured tradition for our team and for our guests. It’s a chance
for everyone in the family to be a kid again, enjoy a legendary
Pirate Pak and help give back to Zajac Ranch.”
Over the years, White Spot has raised more than $1,000,000 for
Zajac Ranch from various initiatives, sending hundreds of kids each
year to the summer camp where they have a chance to engage in
activities like horseback riding, kayaking, water sports, and arts
and crafts, all of which are made fully accessible. These
experiences empower them to overcome barriers, build resiliency,
and simply enjoy being kids.
Since the inception of Pirate Pak Day, White Spot has:
- Sold 494,571 Pirate Paks on this special day;
- Distributed 3,454 pounds of the treasured ‘gold’ chocolate
coins;
- Served 1,236,427 ounces of premium-rich ice cream;
- Dedicated over 200 hours annually to Pirate Pak Day
preparations.
Presented in the famous buccaneers’ boat, each Pirate Pak
includes a limited selection of burgers and classic entrees, as
well as fresh, local fries, creamy coleslaw, premium rich ice
cream, and the treasured ‘gold’ coin representing the booty since
founder Nat Bailey created the iconic meal more than 50 years ago.
Today, Pirate Pak boats are 100% recyclable and compostable and
offer hundreds of menu combinations, including vegetarian
options.
