About the Canary Derby

The Canary Derby challenges companies to build a competitive soap box car and raise funds for an undeniably great cause.

Don Listwin, Silicon Valley veteran (formerly with Cisco) and founder of the Canary Foundation, will be in attendance at both events.

In 2009, the Fourth Annual Victoria Derby raised $129,000 and the Second Annual Vancouver Derby raised more than $113,000. We need your support to raise funds for early cancer detection and make 2010 a record year.
