Official Rules — Vote for Your School PAC Prize Draw
Version 2 · Prepared November 8, 2026
One school award: $250 guaranteed on acceptance, plus up to $750 in optional matching fundraising support; maximum combined award $1,000 CAD. No purchase, donation, payment or fundraising activity is required to cast a vote or receive the $250 guaranteed award. Individuals voting do not receive a prize.
1. Sponsor and promotion
This is a free, regional promotional contest conducted by Bee Nourished Products Ltd. (“Sponsor”), 973 Wild Blossom Crt, Victoria, British Columbia V9C 4M8, Canada. Questions, contest administration and privacy requests: support@beenourishedschools.ca. The contest is called “Vote for Your School!” It is separate from Bee Nourished's parent shampoo nomination prize draw. Each promotion requires its own entry and acceptance of its own rules. Neither contest requires the other.
2. Area, dates and eligible schools
One award is allocated to the Nanaimo Region, British Columbia (including eligible listed schools in Nanaimo, Ladysmith, Lantzville and Gabriola Island). Only schools on the approved list shown on the school voting form are eligible. The school list may include public, independent, alternative and other eligible schools. A school need not have registered with Bee Nourished, have an existing fundraiser or have a PAC to receive votes.
Opening: November 8, 2026, at 11:17:23 a.m. PST (Vancouver local time). Votes cannot be accepted before that recorded timestamp. Closing: January 22, 2027 at 11:59:59 p.m. PST, at the end of January 22, 2027, Vancouver local time. Votes must be successfully email-verified before the deadline. A code requested but not verified before closing is not a valid vote.
3. Who can vote and how to enter
Voting is open to natural persons age 19 or older who reside in British Columbia and support an eligible listed school, including parents, guardians, alumni and community members. Employees directly involved in running or selecting the draw and members of their immediate households may not enter. Entrants must submit personally, using their own truthful name and email address, choose one eligible school, confirm eligibility and agree to these rules, and complete the one-time email verification during the contest period.
Limit one valid vote per person across this entire school draw, no matter how many devices, email addresses, or accounts the person uses. Every valid vote gives its selected school exactly one entry in the regional draw. There are no additional entries for purchasing, donating, referring friends, sharing on social media, or making multiple nominations. The Sponsor may reasonably verify eligibility and remove votes established to be fraudulent, automated, duplicated or otherwise ineligible, using a documented and fair review. Duplicate-email prevention and reasonable integrity checks are used, but email verification alone does not conclusively establish identity.
No purchase or financial contribution is necessary to vote or for a school to be selected. No fundraising purchase, survey response, social-media sharing, product order, marketing opt-in, or donation is required for entry. Abstaining from other Bee Nourished promotions does not affect voting eligibility.
4. Exactly one school prize: $250 to $1,000 CAD
The Sponsor will select one eligible school to receive one school fundraising award, payable only to the school's eligible PAC or other verified, school-authorized fundraising organization or account—not to any individual voter, school employee or PAC officer personally. The award consists of:
- Guaranteed component: CAD $250. The selected school organization receives this amount once a suitable authorized representative accepts and provides reasonable information to complete payment. No product purchase, fundraising enrollment, minimum sales or spending is required to receive this $250. The Sponsor will pay it within 30 calendar days after prize acceptance and verification of the recipient and payment instructions.
- Optional matching component: up to CAD $750 additional. The selected school organization may choose to fundraise with Bee Nourished during the 120 consecutive calendar days beginning on the date it accepts the award. For that period, the Sponsor will contribute one additional dollar for each one dollar of qualifying Bee Nourished fundraising earnings payable to that school, up to CAD $750. Matching is calculated on qualifying school earnings, not the gross retail sales price, and excludes cancelled, refunded, returned, fraudulent, chargeback or non-qualifying orders. Subject to reconciliation, the matching component is remitted within 30 calendar days after the 120-day window ends.
For example, if qualifying earnings are $0, the additional match is $0 and the school still receives $250; if qualifying earnings are $400, the additional match is $400 and the combined award is $650; if qualifying earnings are $750 or more, the additional match is capped at $750 and the combined award is $1,000. The Sponsor's total additional award obligation is capped at CAD $1,000, excluding the school's ordinary fundraising earnings.
Participation in the optional matching program is voluntary. A school does not lose the guaranteed $250 by declining to fundraise or by failing to achieve sales. The additional matching offer is a conditional benefit, not guaranteed $750 cash. There is no cash substitution for unused matching capacity. Ordinary school fundraising earnings remain the school's separate earnings and are not included in the $1,000 Sponsor award cap. Any use of the resulting funds must comply with applicable school, PAC and district policies. Neither the Sponsor nor the school should describe the award as a tax-receiptable charitable donation without separately establishing eligibility.
5. Random draw and odds
Following the closing deadline and a reasonable verification and integrity review, one valid verified vote will be chosen at random from all eligible votes cast for the Nanaimo Region. The school selected on that vote—not the voter—is the prospective award recipient. The initial selection will be completed within five business days of closing. The Sponsor will keep a record of the draw, the number of eligible votes and selection.
Each eligible vote has the same chance of being selected. The chance that a particular school is selected equals the number of its valid votes divided by the total valid votes across all schools at closing. A school with one vote can win. As illustrations, if 500 eligible votes are received in total, a school with one valid vote has a 1-in-500 chance and a school with 100 valid votes has a 100-in-500 (20%) chance. Actual odds will depend on final eligible vote totals. No minimum number of votes is needed for a school to be eligible. If there are zero eligible votes, there will be no eligible recipient and no award can be made.
6. Contact, skill-testing question and acceptance
The Sponsor will use independently available or authorized school/PAC contact details to notify the prospective winning school, ordinarily within five business days after the random draw. The Sponsor will make reasonable documented attempts to reach a PAC officer, school administrator or other authorized representative. The selected school must respond within 14 calendar days after the first notification attempt and provide evidence reasonably establishing authority to accept and direct the award to a PAC or approved school-benefit account. A school without an operating PAC may receive the award through another school- or district-authorized organization or account where permitted by school policies.
Before the selection becomes final, an authorized adult representative of the selected recipient must correctly answer an unaided, time-limited, multi-step mathematical skill-testing question administered by the Sponsor and complete reasonable eligibility and prize-acceptance declarations. There is no fee to claim the award. The selected organization may decline; if the selected school is ineligible, does not respond, declines, or cannot lawfully accept the award, the Sponsor may select an alternate eligible school through another independently randomized vote excluding votes for previously rejected schools, using the same acceptance process and keeping a record. The Sponsor will not transfer the award to the voter personally. If no school can accept after all eligible schools are exhausted, no award can be distributed; the Sponsor will publish a notice explaining the outcome.
7. Data privacy and communications
The Sponsor collects only the voter information reasonably needed to verify age and BC eligibility declarations, associate the vote with one school, prevent abuse, administer and document the draw and respond to lawful requests: voter's name, email, chosen school, time of entry, code-verification result and rules acceptance. Individual voter names and email addresses will not be shared with schools or PACs for independent marketing. The Sponsor may display aggregated school vote totals but will not publicly display identifiable voter information without additional lawful authority or consent. See the Sponsor's Privacy Policy. Personal information is retained only as reasonably necessary for administration, audit, claims and legal obligations, and is securely removed or anonymized when no longer required.
Code emails and necessary contest-related notices are for contest administration. Voting is not consent to receive marketing. Promotional emails require a separate lawful consent basis and legally compliant sender identification and unsubscribe provisions. There is no marketing-signup requirement on the school voting form. Privacy contact: support@beenourishedschools.ca.
8. Fair administration and additional conditions
The Sponsor may take reasonable, proportionate steps to investigate suspected fraud, bot activity, improper votes or technical errors, while preserving valid entries and the publicly stated prize structure. No entrant is required to buy a product or donate to remedy a technical issue. If an extraordinary disruption requires a change, the Sponsor will act only as permitted by applicable law, give appropriate public notice and preserve legitimate entrant rights. The school voting contest is not endorsed or administered by any listed school, district or PAC unless separately authorized; listing an institution does not imply endorsement. Participants should not imply schools endorse Bee Nourished when inviting others to vote. The contest is governed by applicable Canadian federal and British Columbia laws.
