June 7 - 10th, 2010
Salmon Arm to Osoyoos: ~256 km
Our Goal: to raise $20,000 for BC Children's Hospital
Blessed with good health and privileged to live in such a beautiful place as the Okanagan Valley, enjoying this wonderful, enviable lifestyle, we decided to do something to make a difference in the lives of so many. So in 2006 we spearheaded, organized and participated in a RE/MAX bike-a-thon to raise money for BC Children's Hospital. Riding on the event's success, we decided to make it an annual event (with the exception of 2009 due to the severe forest fires) and to-date, have raised over $106,000 for sick and injured children.
The 4th Annual RE/MAX Bike-a-Thon - spokes for kids - is gearing up to take on the Okanagan valley terrain once more to raise money for BC Children's Hospital. This fun and challenging event will be held June 7 - 10th and a smaller team of riders, through corporate sponsorship and pledges, is aiming to raise $20,000 for this year's goal.
Dedicated RE/MAX Realtors and friends return each year to ride on behalf of families in their respective communities and the success of this event would not be possible without their passion, dedication and loyalty to the charity. We are very honoured and grateful to have them on our spokes for kids cycling team. We are presently busy training in preparation for this challenging route that originates in Salmon Arm and ends in Osoyoos. The total distance covered is ~ 256 kms.
We’re excited and pumped to have the opportunity to help BC’s sick and injured children and recognize that the success of this event is dependant on the continued generosity of our clients, the North Okanagan community and corporate sponsorship from the businesses.
