MEGABike Winnipeg
Let’s Pedal for Potential, Winnipeg!
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada is rolling out a new fundraising event this June: MEGABike!
On June 20th, the BIG Bike will come to Winnipeg Assiniboine Park for a legendary 29-person ride in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Winnipeg’s youth mentoring programs and services! There will be 8 rides in total on event day of approximately 45 minutes per ride.
How can you help us ensure we have a great day of biking in support of youth mentorship?
- This event is geared toward corporate teambuilding, and we are looking for 8 companies to purchase rides and recruit employees, plus their friends and family.
- So, if you work for a company, know someone at a company, or have any connections to connect us to a decision-maker at a company, please let us know! Your referral would be incredibly appreciated.
- We will need volunteers on event day and possibly ‘backup riders’ to join the teams if they are short a few bikers. If you, your match, or your family would like to volunteer to be a part of this new, ridiculously fun event, please let us know and we’ll provide further details as they are planned.
What Can I Expect?
- 2.5 KM route through the scenic Assiniboine Park
- 45-minute time slots starting at 9:30 AM
- Music, refreshments, and networking!
- Post-event celebration & reception!
- Videos, photos and much more!
