BlackboxMyCar donates over $5,000 to RAPS to support their 2026 Vehicle Lottery — Meet the Winners!

BlackboxMyCar donates over $5,000 to RAPS to support their 2026 Vehicle Lottery — Meet the Winners!

It’s hard to believe it, but it’s been nearly six years since we first launched our BlackboxMyCar Cares community giveback initiative! Through this initiative, we have been able to support various causes and community organizations across Canada and the U.S., including frontline workers during the height of COVID, the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, B.C. Children's Hospital Foundation, and the Regional Animal Protection Society (RAPS), with over $60,000 worth of donations and counting. Your support makes these contributions possible, and we are committed to continuing these efforts.

Our Ongoing Commitment to RAPS

2026 marks our third year of supporting RAPS, which was sparked by an email we received in late 2022 from one of our customers. This customer, who has purchased dash cams and installations from us for both himself and his family, turned out to be the brother of RAPS CEO Eyal Lichtmann, asking if we could support them with dash cams for their fleet vehicles.

In January 2023, Joseph met with Eyal at the RAPS Animal Hospital, and we donated Thinkware U1000 2-channel dash cams and PowerCell 8 battery packs, along with installations for its fleet of vans and SUVs, officially kicking things off. Since then, we’ve followed up by donating over $12,000 in dash cam packages for its partnership with Postmedia Network’s Support-and-Buy-Local Auction, and over $26,000 in dash cams and accessories to be sold at its thrift stores.

Our Latest Donation: The Early Bird Gets the Worm

When RAPS announced its 2026 Vehicle Lottery last year, as part of its ongoing fundraising efforts, we knew we also had to get involved. While those who enter could have a chance of winning a 50/50 cash draw or the grand prize of a brand-new 2026 Nissan Leaf from Applewood Nissan, we wanted to contribute with a donation that could provide more value than either of those prizes to some lucky winners.

We donated three dash cam prize packages totalling over $5,000 in value, each consisting of a VIOFO A329S 2CH dash cam, HK6 hardwiring kit, 64GB microSD card, and PowerCell 5 battery pack, along with a professional installation at our Richmond, BC headquarters. These donations were awarded to three early bird winners who purchased prize tickets on November 1, 2025, entering them for an exclusive chance to win these packages.

And, now that the early bird results are in, it’s time to meet our winners!

Meet Our Early Bird Winners

Emma Carter

"I'm really grateful to [BlackboxMyCar] for actually participating in the fundraiser for the RAPS Sanctuary... I really do feel that [a dash cam] is an amazing thing to have in your car. My car has been dented a few times while it was parked, and I think it's a really good thing to have."

A devoted animal lover, Emma was completely taken by surprise when she was announced as one of the early bird winners. She expressed deep gratitude to BlackboxMyCar for sponsoring the fundraiser and supporting such an amazing cause.

For Emma, the prize couldn't have come at a better time. Her beloved 2003 Honda Accord, which boasts over 166,000 miles (that’s nearly 300,000 km for our fellow Canadians!), has sadly fallen victim to a few parking lot dents over the past 23 years.

With the A329S’s exceptional video quality and parking mode capabilities, enhanced by the addition of the PowerCell 5, she finally has the ideal setup to catch any future hit-and-runs. Emma is so thrilled with the peace of mind this system provides that she is already planning to purchase a second one to protect her daughter's vehicle.

Toni Hepburn

"I am the lucky winner of the dash cam from BlackboxMyCar via RAPS... It went to a very good cause, and I'm excited to use this dash cam. I was just thinking about getting one when I got the great news that I had actually won… I'm excited to use this dash cam."

Toni couldn't believe her perfect timing. Just as she had started researching and considering buying her very first dash cam, she received the fantastic news from RAPS that she was one of the early bird winners. Thrilled that her raffle entry supported such a wonderful cause, Toni is eager to put her new prize to work.

Inspired by news stories of dash cam footage helping to solve accidents and local crimes, and seeing her own friends use them to monitor neighbourhood activity, Toni recognized the growing importance of vehicle security. Winning this prize gave her exactly what she was looking for, and she is incredibly excited to see how her new dash cam will provide added peace of mind in her daily life.

Toni’s story highlights another important point about dash cams, as they’re useful tools for not only accidents and hit-and-runs, but also as silent witnesses that could help solve crimes. Not everyone has a doorbell or security camera, but dash cams can effectively transform everyday vehicles into mobile security cameras that might just be in the right place at the right time, especially when combined with battery packs to help keep them rolling for longer.

Support RAPS For a Chance to Win!

We would like to congratulate Emma, Toni and Gavin once again for winning our dash cam prize packages in the early bird draw. From the bottom of our hearts and RAPS’, we sincerely appreciate your support, and we hope you’ll enjoy the protection they provide for years to come.

For everyone else, there’s still time to purchase tickets for the RAPS 2026 Vehicle Lottery for a chance to win a 50/50 cash draw or a 2026 Nissan Leaf. Hurry, because sales end on Tuesday, March 31, 2026!
