Bike for Tykes is a non-profit organization comprised of individuals who are committed to giving back to children’s charities in Toronto. Since its formation in 2000, Bike for Tykes has raised over $1M through outdoor fitness events designed to raise both funds and awareness to improve the lives of Toronto’s youth.

This year, in partnership with Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation, Bike for Tykes is putting its wheels in motion to raise funds to improve the lives of children with cancer. 100% of all funds raised, yes, 100%, will be allocated to toward the construction of the Garron Family Cancer, Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Neighbourhood within the Research and Learning Tower Project at the Hospital for Sick Children.

In 2011, The Coast to Coast Against Cancer foundation in partnership with Jenna’s Angels made a multi-year $1M commitment to the childhood cancer research floors in the new Research and Learning Tower. In 2011 alone, Coast to Coast and Jenna’s Angels raised and delivered $500K of that commitment. The timing of this commitment qualified for a 100% provincial government matching program.

What does that mean to you as a Bike For Tykes participant or donor?

When we partnered with Bike For Tykes last fall, we realized that this was an incredible opportunity all around. By including this event as part of the $1M commitment, not only does 100% of your donation go to this project, it will be matched downstream 100% by the provincial government!

This is an unprecedented opportunity to make your participation in or donation to the most memorable corporate spin event in downtown Toronto, go twice as far towards one of the leading facilities in the world.

Please join us for what promises to be a fun and fulfilling day of fitness!

The date for this year’s 4-hour Spin-a-Thon is Thursday, June 21, 2012

Main Courtyard, TD Centre, King and Bay Streets
