Indulge in some childhood nostalgia while supporting a good cause by visiting your local White Spot for Pirate Pak Day on Aug. 12.
Restaurants across B.C. will be offering guests of all ages the opportunity to order a Pirate Pak served in a paper boat, with $2 from every purchase supporting Zajac Ranch’s programs for children and young adults with serious medical conditions and physical and developmental disabilities.
Each Adult Pirate Pak will include creamy coleslaw, fries, a chocolate coin, and a scoop of ice cream, in addition to a choice of main. Options include The Legendary Burger, Bacon Cheddar Burger, BC Chicken Burger, Brie and Mushroom Veggie Burger, The Clubhouse, and Dippin’ Chicken.
White Spot has raised over $532,061 since it started Pirate Pak Day, which includes enough chocolate coins to build a nearly 1.6 km high stack and 1.3 million ounces of ice cream served.

This year also carries a special meaning, following the passing of Zajac Ranch founder Mel Zajac earlier this year at the age of 98.
“Pirate Pak Day is unlike any other day in our restaurants. It has become the most meaningful day of the year for White Spot,” said White Spot President Trent Carroll.
“It brings to life our passion for family experiences and giving back to the community, and we are extremely proud and excited to provide families and young kids the opportunity to participate in an amazing program at Zajac Ranch. This year, Pirate Pak Day also gives us a chance to honour Mel Zajac’s incredible legacy and the barrier-free spirit he built into everything Zajac Ranch does. It is what makes it all so special for the kids and fun! Mel’s passion will always continue to inspire us when we bring Pirate Pack Day to our guests!”
“My dad believed that every child deserves the chance to experience camp, regardless of the barriers in their way, and that belief is at the heart of everything Zajac Ranch does,” added Carmen Zajac, Mel’s daughter. “Partners like White Spot, along with the thousands of guests who support PirateĀ PakĀ DayĀ each year, help make that promise possible for families across British Columbia. We’re so grateful this partnership continues to carry his vision forward.”
