What is the Big Bike Event?
Big Bike is one of the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s most FUN-raising fundraising events. Causing a commotion wherever it goes, the event is named after the 30-seat bicycle that teams of enthusiastic riders pedal through 200 communities across nine provinces – raising funds, attention and laughs along the way. When does it occur? It occurs in Kelowna from May 1st – 2nd and in Westbank on May 4th. The Event occurs from 8am to 6pm. What are the Prizes? Grand Prize – 29 bikes for 29 riders. Each team member can win a brand new mountain bike! Other prizes are Swiss Army Watches, High End Binoculars, Grill Set, Beach Bundle, Sport Bags, Shirts, and Whistles! Everyone has the opportunity to win a prize! What we need: 5 Team captains to organize teams of 29 people. These team captains have tasks that include managing their 29 team members. Contact us for more information. We need as member team members as possible! All you need to do is fundraise a small amount and participate in the short bike ride event. No cost at all to participate.
