Local 500 Positively Public Big Bike Team 2010
When the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike ride comes to town, the CUPE 500 Positively Public Team answers the call. For the third straight year, CUPE Local 500 put together a team and raised funds for the foundation. The event took place on June 15 at the Forks.
The 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 BIG 30-seat BIKE. Teams made up of 29 enthusiastic riders (and one driver provided by the Foundation) pedal through their community in support of heart disease and stroke research.
In 2009, over 40,000 riders in over 200 communities helped raise over $7 million for research. Heart disease impacts thousands of Canadians each and every year. This campaign helps improve the lives of countless Canadians.
Congratulations and thank you to all our Positively Public Riders and those who supported their efforts to raise a total $1,859.00. Way to go team!
