Heart & Stroke Foundation
Big Bike Challenge
August 26th - September 10th, 2010
Calgary's Corporate "Challenge" is $650,000!
Help us reach our goal for 2010
In 2009, over $480,000 was raised for the Heart and Stoke Foundation.
Simply gather 29 employees, friends, colleagues and family members and prepare yourselves for the ride of your life on the only 30-seater bike in the province (driver is provided by HSF). Each fun ride takes approximately 15 minutes, with lunch hour or evening ride times available at various locations. Participating companies will receive 2 points toward their overall Corporate Challenge standings, and points will be added to your overall score for 1st - 6th place. The Heart & Stroke Foundation will also be awarding draw prizes.
