Can-Fit-Pro 2011
Inside Ride Mileage Challenge and Volunteer Opportunities
Thursday, Aug 12 - Aug 14
The Toronto Can-Fit-Pro Conference is coming up fast! Can-Fit-Pro is one of our terrific sponsors and they have always been a strong supporter and participant in the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride and The Inside Ride.
We’re collaborating this year to host an Inside Ride Mileage Challenge at the Conference!
We’ll have a couple of bikes at our booth, #207. For a $20 minimum donation, conference attendees can take a 2 minute spin on the bike and see just what kind of KM they can clock.
Can-Fit-Pro is donating some fabulous male and female mileage prizes for Can-Fit-Pro members and non-members alike **. How’s this for incentive to clock some kilometres on a bike and help a kid with cancer? 2011 Toronto Conference Registration Certificates will awarded in the following categories: Male and Female Top Distance in the Under 25 category, Male and Female Top Distance in the 25 – 45 age category, and Male and Female Top Distance in the over 45 age categories.
What a tremendous value in return for your efforts to help Canadian children living with and beyond cancer!
Top Male and Female Fundraisers will receive an Inside Ride medal. Online fundraising has been setup for those who really want to make a big difference. Go to http://canfitpro.theinsideride.com. Your free online Inside Ride registration lets you fundraise for this event and reach out to friends and family via email, etc.
100% of individual receipted donations go towards the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride funding pediatric oncology research and hospital programs in every province of Canada.
We’re also looking for volunteers at our Inside Ride booth to help out with this fun event. Are you interested? Let us know, we’d be delighted to have you there!
