On Tuesday, May 20th, 2025, 7am-9am, Project Literacy will host our 6th Annual Adult Team Spelling Bee Fundraiser at the Coast Capri Hotel at 1171 Harvey Avenue in Kelowna!
TEAM REGISTRATION OPENS APRIL 1, 2025
Can you spell V-I-C-T-O-R-Y?!
All funds raised from this event will go towards supporting Project Literacy programs for children and adults within the Central Okanagan. The Team Spelling Bee will include coffee, tea, juice and a classic buffet breakfast. The words are tough but the competition is even tougher. Teams of eight adults will compete for the Spelling Bee Trophy. The reigning champion: Okanagan College’s ‘Word Wrights’ came into the Bee for the first time, last year, and left with the trophy held high!
Last year, we also introduced the Spirit Award for the most spirited and creative team — costumes, chants, anything you can think of that embodies team spirit. The 2024 winner of a delicious jar of honey from Planet Bee Honey Farm and a Karat created honey milk chocolate bar from Arlo’s Honey Farm Inc., was Kelowna Sunrise Rotary Club’s team: ‘Here Comes the Sun‘! They were the loud and proud spellers of the day! Who will take home the prize, this year?
Come back on April 1st and register your team and join in the fun! You never know, YOU could “bee” the next winner!
