A British Columbia Mining Industry Tradition
The Mining for Miracles (M4M) Pie Throw fundraiser is a BC mining industry tradition in support of the BC Children’s Hospital. This signature event takes place during BC Mining Month each May, bringing together the industry’s leaders in the spirit of friendly competition. The funds raised help keep BC Children’s Hospital (BCCH) at the forefront of pediatric-care excellence and improve the quality of health care for children in the province. Since its inception in 1988, M4M has raised more than $40 million, with 100% of the funds raised going to support the hospital.
Milestone Achievement
This year’s M4M Pie Throw campaign marks the milestone achievement of the multi-year goal to raise $3.58 million in support of the BC Children’s Hospital Preventative Health Initiative (PHI). M4M accomplished this goal within just two years, one year ahead of the original target date! The combined total amount raised for the Precision Health Initiative since 2023 has reached an amazing $3,932,836.
The PHI represents state-of-the-art medical research that will improve BC Children’s Hospital’s ability to provide answers for children with previously undiagnosed conditions, offering new information and hope to children and families who have often been on a long diagnostic odyssey.
