FUNPASS

WHO & WHAT is FUNPASS?
 
Kelly Petchiny-Marits is the founder of FUNPASS – Your PASS to FUN! Kelly graduated from the University of Calgary Alberta with a Bachelor of Physical Education/minor in Business. She worked for several years in health clubs, entertainment business with radio, shopping malls, golf courses and special festivals when she decided to pursue her own passions and creative outlet and started her own company FUNSEEKERS, which consisted of FUN Parties & Silly FUN Wear.

The silly designs were initially created for friends but as they became so popular, she decided to open a Kiosk on the 8th Avenue Mall in downtown Calgary to sell to ‘fun-seeking’ tourists.  Being creative with marketing and promotions, they were soon available through local stores as well as tradeshows and special shirt designs were created for ski hills, sporting teams, schools and fitness related programs which grew to include cities throughout Alberta and BC.

In 2003, FUNSEEKERS became FUNPASS and with a team of FUNseekers she put on several parties a year throughout Vancouver BC and the Lower Mainland as well as Victoria, Calgary, Kelowna and Toronto.   With the advantages of the internet, she opened an online store where her Silly Stuff products could now be purchased through the Cafepress FUNPASS store as well as the special order designs are still available by request. 

In 2009 my daughter Siera, now 6 years old, has shown her creative side and is interested in helping putting on parties and helping to design some new FUN shirts.

So here we are…it’s all about the FUN!  Living life to the fullest… laughing out loud and … playing and having fun with lots of friends!
