Donations are now live for Desert Bus Express 2025! As a reminder, donations won’t extend this event’s duration, but you are helping the BC Cancer Foundation with every dollar raised (as an aside to total raised on our site for this event is displayed in Canadian dollars– your donations are also being converted to CAD since they go directly to the charity!). In addition to your efforts, an "Anonymoose" local friend of Desert Bus, who works for a company in Victoria (and works with a lot of BC charities), has offered to match donations up to the first $100,000 (CAD) raised. Think of it as an official-unofficial challenge to the chat. 

We don’t have a system to automatically double every donation that comes in up to the first $100,000. The matching donation will be made directly to the BC Cancer Foundation after the event. With that said, we are looking at ways to incorporate the matching donations throughout the event. More info on that when we get rolling next Friday!

Finally, here’s a quick look at each of the shifts, plus all of our volunteer drivers:
