UBC Chem-E-Car is pleased to announce that we have received a very generous donation from the Daniel Family Foundation. The Daniel Family Foundation is a philanthropic foundation that supports Canadian charitable causes including basic scientific research, cancer care and renewable energy among other groups.

The funds will be used to expand the team’s activities related to research, outreach and experiments on renewable energy. To accommodate our growing membership, we intend to compete with two cars in the 2016-2017 AIChE Regionals next year instead of just one. Our team is also looking into constructing rechargeable batteries to replace our current primary cells, both as a standalone project and a power source for our new cars.

UBC Chem-E-Car would like to extend our special thanks for the Foundation’s outstanding support for UBC students and their generous investment in our professional and personal development. We recognize the Daniel Family Foundation as our Exclusive Diamond Sponsor.
