Arise Welobikathon
On Sunday, Sep. 30, Arise hosted a sponsored bike ride, the "Arise Welobikathon", to help raise funds Gateway Homeless Shelter in Toronto. We raised over $500! All proceeds go towards providing the shelter with Welobikes that will power the shelter with free green energy. (For more information on Welobike, please visit http://www.welobike.com/).
The day was beautiful and sunny as our nine cyclists biked the Don Valley Trail from Riverside Park to Don Mills and back.
Congratulations to all who participated and sponsored!
