Testimonials

Words from our Biggest Fans!

The fundraising gives us the means to help our families in real, tangible ways. Together we’re making a difference in the lives of children with cancer! Thanks for keeping our kids smiling!!

Jocelyn Lamont, Candlelighters Ottawa

I’ve been lucky in my career to be involved with many amazing corporate and community events. Today I witnessed something that Ottawa schools and companies should check out.

 

Its called The Inside Ride where you and your co-workers (or fellow students) ride in a team of 6 for 10 minutes each on a full size bike. While you’re huffing and puffing away, your teammates are right beside you cheering you on, fanning you and giving you water.

The idea is not to be the fastest group, but to raise funds for kids with Cancer and having a blast with your co-workers during a lunch hour.

Alcatel Lucent is the only Ottawa company to host this event for the second year in their main entrance with 28 teams taking part.

The music was pumping, atmosphere like a rock concert and best of all almost $30,000 was raised for kids with Cancer.

The organizing team from The Inside Ride is a pleasure to work with. They all have a ‘can do’ attitude and always with a smile. Their enthusiasm for this great cause is contagious. Our employees have caught this enthusiasm, raising nearly twice as much in the second year as they did in the first. Truly one of the best events for some cost effective team building and morale boosting – all while supporting a very worthy cause.
