Heart & Stroke Foundation

Big Bike Challenge
August 24th - September 9th, 2011

Calgary's Corporate "Challenge" is $500,000!

Help us continue our work to eliminate death and disability from heart disease and stroke

In 2010, 108 CCC teams rode the Big Bike and donated over $450, 000 to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Since 2000, CCC participants have raised over $3,610,000!

Gather 29 employees, friends, colleagues and family members for great team-building fun on the only 30-seater bike in the province (driver is provided by the Heart & Stroke Foundation). Each ride takes approximately 15 minutes, with lunch hour or evening ride times available at various locations. The Bike is equipped with music, noisemakers and water guns. Participating companies will receive 2 points toward their overall Corporate Challenge standings, and the top six fundraisers in each category will recieve additional points.
