Below is a brief overview of previous campaigns: Take a Spin For Chelsea (2008) Was a fundraiser and spirit raiser for Chelsea, a student who suffered a horrific car accident that caused her to lose function in her legs, and become a paraplegic. The school raised $27,000 to help with wheelchair accessibility at home and at school. Spread the Word (2009) $30,000 helped give the gift of literacy to children by building a school at an HIV orphanage in Bumala, Kenya. Play it Forward (2010) $54,500 helped support programs that use play as a tool to promote education and health in developing countries through a partnership with Right to Play. Not For Sale (2011) Shone light on the dark issue of human trafficking by raising awareness and lobbying the Canadian government to create tougher anti-human trafficking laws, and raised $36,000 towards this cause.

The School decided to do a 24-hour "Bikeathon", and set a goal of $200,000. The school exceeded its goal by raising over $352,000 with 1,100 students participating. Subsequently, the event made history as Canada's largest school charity project. Bike2Box (2016) Shelter Box Canada was chosen as the charity to be supported in a school-wide vote of student and staff. Similar to 2015, a Bikeathon was the means of raising money.
