10th annual Cheer by the Pier

• Since inception, Cheer by the Pier has raised over $1.3 million in support of Family Services of the North Shore’s Child and Youth Mental Health programs 

• All 2025 vendors were Canadian, with the majority being hyper-local to the North Shore

Family Services of the North Shore, the non-profit community-based agency committed to making a lasting impact across the North Shore, held their 10th annual Cheer by the Pier (formerly Beer by The Pier) event, presented by Darwin Properties Ltd. on June 14th, 2025. The event took place at the Pipe Shop Venue in the Shipyards, located at 115 Victory Ship  Way, North Vancouver, BC. All proceeds raised from the event go directly to supporting Family Services of the North Shore’s Child and Youth Mental Health programs. 

This year, the event had more local options, from handcrafted cocktails, refreshing mocktails and other non alcoholic options, to craft beers, and fine wine from across the province. All of the vendors this year were Canadian, and the majority were hyper-local, so British Columbians could feel confident about supporting local, while also knowing that by attending the event, they were helping us raise critical funds for vulnerable children and youth that live on the North Shore. With delicious food, a vibrant silent auction, 50/50 raffle and a DJ setting the dance floor on fire, it was amazing to see the community come together.

SOMA was able to get this incredible event featured in newsletters, media outlets and various websites across Vancouver.
