It Takes a Big Heart to Ride a Big Bike!
The Membership Area Representation Committee (MARC) is calling all REALTORS® to participate on a RAHB Heart & Stroke “Big Bike” ride.
Yes, it’s a giant bike that will hold up to 29 REALTORS® at one time! This is not a race- it is a 20-minute ride around the community.
RAHB will be participating in two Big Bike Rides and you can sign up for one or both of them:
Friday, June 15 (afternoon) – Jack Astor’s in the Ancaster Meadowlands
Tuesday, June 19 (afternoon) – Slainte’s Irish Pub in central Hamilton
Joining in is simple:
- Let us know which ride you’d like to join, and we will get you set up with your rider package and have you register on-line.
- You will be required to raise a minimum of $50 in donations to Heart and Stroke. (If you are participating in both rides, you will have to raise $50 for each ride.) This can be done easily -donations can be collected in person or on-line.
As if supporting a great cause isn’t enough, Heart & Stoke is also offering great prizes to riders for monies raised at various target levels. So join in and show the community that REALTORS® care!
Although the ride is not until June, we need to hear from you now! Call Kathy or Nancy 905.529.8101.
