Fueling the Community:
YYOUNG's Support for Vancouver’s Premier Events
Together, we actively powers the Greater Vancouver Area’s top athletic challenges. This dedication ensures athletes remain energized with premium alkaline water, reinforcing the company’s commitment to supporting community wellness and active living.
BMO Vancouver Marathon
Since resuming support in 2022, yYOUNG has served as a key hydration partner for this premier event. As the Official Water Supplier, Alkiss fuels runners at hydration stations positioned along the entire course, embodying our commitment to be there 'every step of the way' and ensuring over 25,000 athletes remain hydrated from the start line to the finish.
VANCOUVER SUN RUN
Since the return to in-person racing in 2022, yYOUNG has proudly served as an Official Supplier for Canada’s largest 10K road race. Through this partnership, Alkiss supplies naturally alkaline water to help participants maintain energy and hydration levels on the course. Our commitment extends beyond the water stations, as we actively engage with the community at the race expo and field our own team to run alongside participants.
RBC GranFondo Whistler
Since 2025, yYOUNG has gone beyond traditional sponsorship to actively participate in this world-class cycling event. By organizing the dedicated Alkiss Bike Team to tackle the challenging 122km Sea-to-Sky route, we directly embody the active lifestyle and endurance our brand represents. This participation allows us to capture and share the authentic journey of the race, aligning Alkiss with the grit and determination of the cycling community.
CBC Make the Season Kind
Alkiss Water was a proud supporter of CBC Make the Season Kind 2025, participating as a featured vendor in the event's “Food Pop Ups” at CBC Vancouver Plaza. On December 5, 2025, we joined forces with local partners like Body Energy Club and Nami to celebrate community spirit through a donation-based hydration station. We are thrilled to share that 100% of the proceeds collected went directly to support Food Banks BC and local food pantries.
Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run
Alkiss extends its support to a diverse range of local causes and endurance challenges. We proudly sponsor this grueling 30-mile race, providing essential hydration to support runners as they tackle one of the toughest courses in North America.
Charity Events
At yYoung® Wellbeing, our dedication to health extends beyond our clinics and products—it is woven into the fabric of our community. For many years, we have proudly championed the vital work of the BC Children's Hospital Foundation, the BC Cancer Foundation, and the BC Lung Association. Through long-standing support and active partnership, we remain committed to fueling the research and care that provide a healthier future for families across British Columbia.
