Big Bike 2010 - It's the must do event of the Year!

Local 500 is looking for participants to join the Positively Public team for this year's Big Bike event. The Big Bike is one of the Heart and Stroke Foundation's most FUN-raising fundraising events. This event is named after the BIG 30-seat BIKE. Teams are made up of 29 enthusiastic riders and one driver (provided by the Heart and Stroke Foundation) who pedal through over 200 communities, across nine provinces raising funds, attention and laughs along the way.

The CUPE Positively Public team will ride on Tuesday June 15, 2010. The ride starts at 7:00 pm at the forks (Johnson terminal). It's easy to join the team. Simply click here to go to the Positively Public team page and follow the steps. If you are unable to ride, consider making a donation on behalf of the team.

CUPE 500 Big Bike team raises over $2,000

CUPE Local 500 members and their families raised over $2,000 at this year's Heart and Stroke Big Bike event. The event took place on June 18 at the Forks.

The Big Bike event across Canada raised more than $8 million dollars last year for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Many thanks go out to the Local's organizers and a special thanks to Sister Glenoria Molnar who raised more than $800.00 dollars on her own.

Heart disease impacts thousands of Canadians each and every year. This campaign helps improve the lives of countless Canadians.
