Comments 161 by Rebecca Bollwitt

The BCAA Booster Challenge is back for 2012 as they look for the most energetic, positive, and crowd-rallying individuals to lead a whole cheering section at Rogers Arena.

From changing flat tires to giving jump-starts, BCAA is known for doing nice things for people who need help. So it’s in that spirit that we introduce our next Canucks ticket challenge: Do something nice for a Leafs fan.

BCAA Booster Challenge - Canucks vs. Leafs

You read that right… do something nice for a Leafs fan, snap a photo, and upload it for your chance to win. Hold their door, shovel their walk, give them a foot rub, or simply hold a sign with words of encouragement for our rivals to the East. The person with the winning photo will get two tickets to the Canucks/Leafs game on February 18, 2012 and perform the duties of the BCAA Booster guy or gal.

Just for entering, you’re also eligible for their secondary prize of two tickets to the March 1st game against St. Louis. Entries are due by 12:00pm next Tuesday, February 14, 2012. The BCAA Booster winner for the Leafs game will be announced on Friday, February 17th.

That’s not all. For promoting the “Do Something Nice for a Leafs Fan” contest BCAA has offered up two lower bowl tickets for the Canucks/Jets game on March 8th and I’m passing those along to one lucky reader. Help us spread the word about the BCAA Booster Challenge and you could win my tickets to the game. Here’s how you can enter to win:

    We were using some soon-to-expire gift certificates at a restaurant, but didn’t need all of them so we gave the extra to the family sitting next to us. Turns out they were on vacation from Seattle and exclaimed about how nice Vancouverites are!

  20. AdamThursday, February 9th, 2012 — 1:21pm PST

    A colleague was having a rough day after a friend of hers moved away, so I picked up some of her favourite Subway cookies to brighten the day. She was still a little down the next day, and a second round of cookies helped make that day a bit easier too.

    I went & saw Beauty & the Beast last night at the Queen E and thought that “Lumiere” the candlestick did such an amazine job. I took the time to track down a way to contact him to let him know what an amazing job he did & told him that he stole the show!

  34. LEAFS FANThursday, February 9th, 2012 — 4:02pm PST

    WE ARE NOT YOUR RIVALS. We have enough of them already. Detroit, Montreal, Buffalo, NY, Boston, Ottawa…you’re not even on our radar. I like what you’re doing here, maybe I’ll stop getting booed when I wear my Leafs hat outside now. Probably not, Vancouverites will still think there’s a rivalry with The Leafs. We’re not even a threat to you!! Go bug some Albertans.

I always see him holding doors/umbrellas for everyone, bringing home coffees and always has a smile on – literally always. He deserves the tickets on this one!

    I researched and printed out a list of neurologists for pediatrics for a couple who didn’t know what they should do for their 2 year old daughter who was having seizures every hour. The list was of all the pediatric neurologists who attend BC Children Hospital.

    A stranger stopped for my friend on the side of the road (her tire had popped & she didn’t have a spare). He helped her take off the tire, drove to the nearest gas station, had the tire fixed, and drove back to help her put it on again.

    a lady was sitting at the bus stop last week and crying, she wasn’t an ordinary lady but she was less fortunate and was considered to be a “bag lady” everyone else wouldn’t even look twice at her nor even go near her. I saw that she was crying, I went up to her, put my hand on her shoulder and asked her what was wrong.,..her daughter’s bday was today and she no longer had custody of her daughter for the last 3 years and haven’t seen her in over a year. I asked her would she mind if we went out for a coffee to celebrate her daughters day so that she can celebrate it even in spirits and we did we sat down with a chocolate covered cupcake and coffee and celebrated, cried and prayed. It was one of the best days of my life…smiles.

    I helped a man to his car with his groceries, he had two children with him and was really struggling, not much trouble to me and it meant a lot to him you could tell!

    I helped an elderly woman about 2 weeks ago. I was with my family at Save-on Foods, near the book section. They were looking around and I happened to look down one of the aisles and I saw a little white-haired elderly woman struggling to put a box of cat-litter into her walker. She was starting to look very frustrated. Without a word, I left my family for a moment and offered my assistance. After adjusting the tray on the elderly woman’s walker, I managed to hoist the cat litter and secure it onto her seat. She was very grateful for the help. My family didn’t see what happened and I just kept it to myself and felt good about myself for a deed well done.

    Offered my seat to an elders on the bus

    It was difficult for a car to make a left turn, so I pressed the pedestrian button for her.

  141. C WilsonWednesday, February 15th, 2012 — 9:17am PST

    I texted all the single women I know yesterday and wished them Happy Valentines day and told them they were loved…..

    I offered my seat to a sweet lady on the bus the other day

    I gave movie tickets to Kids Up Front (http://www.kidsupfrontvancouver.com/).

    It’s a shame that common courtesy is starting to be misconstrued as an act of kindness. Holding the door open or giving up your seat for an old lady should be the norm.

    I went through the drive thru last week, and the fellow in the car in front of me had paid for my meal. What a great gift! So I followed the trend and paid for the car behind me. Maybe they did the same. I don’t know when the chain started, or when it ended, but I was happy to be a link in the middle.

    I always make sure to hold the door open or give up a seat on public transit. A smile also always goes a long way.
    In particular, last week, a man tried to withdraw $2000 from an ATM but could not get it to work. He took his bank card and went into the bank branch. When I then approached the ATM, a huge stack of $20s came out. I brought the stack into the branch so that they could sort it out.

    I gave a friend a hat I’d ordered online because she’d said her daughter would love it and by the time it arrived her daughter was quite sick. Apparently it really made her day.

  147. JenniferWednesday, February 15th, 2012 — 12:03pm PST

    My husband got a flat on the back left, on the Barnet Hwy. He was sort of struggling when a guy and his son pulled over to get the spare on faster and get my husband on his way. I thought that was pretty much the coolest thing I’ve heard in awhile and am grateful to those strangers who didn’t have to, but reached out to help. One in a million.

    Yesterday coming out of the bathroom stall, I didn’t realize the back of my skirt was tucked into my tights and a nice woman told me that it was! How embarrassing that could’ve been!

  149. brittanyWednesday, February 15th, 2012 — 3:04pm PST

    bought the lady in front of me her coffee when she realized she left her wallet in the car!

  150. Steve Zussino – Grocery AlertsWednesday, February 15th, 2012 — 3:14pm PST

    I helped pay it forward at the grocery store handing a mom some coupons to save her some money on a product I saw she was buying. She was really thankful!

  151. Sharelle DaycoWednesday, February 15th, 2012 — 3:38pm PST

    I helped a young “potential teacher” on her application to the program that I succcesffuly got into a couple of years ago. I don’t really know her (friend of a friend) but someone helped me when I applied, so I figured I would help her out in return.

  152. AmyWednesday, February 15th, 2012 — 3:41pm PST

    Holding the door for someone when they had a handful of groceries!

  153. chrissyWednesday, February 15th, 2012 — 4:01pm PST

    This am, I gave the rest of my paid parking ticket to someone who had just entered the parkade so they didnt have to pay.

  155. VonWednesday, February 15th, 2012 — 7:38pm PST

    Keep an eye out for a pair of visually disabled people who were crossing at a major intersection.

  156. MaryWednesday, February 15th, 2012 — 7:45pm PST

    Today on my walk to work to Saint Paul’s Hospital from the Burrard Station, I witnessed a woman approach a street person sitting on the sidewalk in the rain and give her own jacket and wrapped it around them!

  157. janetWednesday, February 15th, 2012 — 8:28pm PST

    i gave someone bus fare the other day so he could get to work

  158. JenWednesday, February 15th, 2012 — 9:38pm PST

    I baked some chocolate chip oatmeal cookies for an elderly lady who used to be my neighbour. I brought her the cookies and we had a wonderful visit 🙂

  159. JeremyWednesday, February 15th, 2012 — 9:40pm PST

    I helped a friend move across the province, in the snow….everyone else who said they would help ended up not showing up!

  160. TimTuesday, February 21st, 2012 — 4:12pm PST

    I recently got tested to see if I was a match for stem cell transplant to help a terminally ill stranger. I am still hoping I am a match for someone in need so I can help! I urge everyone else to do the same! Also donate blood regularly!

  161. Mike SMonday, January 28th, 2013 — 12:26am PST

    I saw an elderly lady drop her glove and I picked it up a have it to her as she wasn’t aware she dropped it.
