HyLife Fun Days Donates More than 100 Thousand Dollars to Local Charities

What started as a casual employee gathering has grown into a powerful tradition of giving. HyLife Fun Days, in collaboration with generous sponsors, has raised more than $1.7 million, to date, for local charities.. This annual event that began in 2006, continues to evolve, expanding its reach and deepening its impact.

Each year, more than 1,000 HyLife team members, business partners, and community members come together to enjoy a gourmet meal prepared by the HyLife Culinary Team, participate in friendly sports competitions, and enjoy family-friendly activities like face painting, games, and more. It’s a time to connect, celebrate, and, most importantly, give back.

“HyLife Fun Days is more than just a celebration—it’s about creating a lasting impact. Even after the festivities of 2025 fade, the donations continue to make a meaningful difference in our community. Each charity chosen carries a unique story and purpose, and our company is honoured to support these incredible causes,” said Stacey Ashley, Director of Public Relations and Communication.

Each of the following projects received a $35,000 donation from HyLife Fun Days, recognizing and supporting the incredible work happening in these communities. In total, $105,000 was donated to local organizations that HyLife is proud to stand behind and support.
