Giving Back At BreakfastDaily at the Kelowna Food Bank, they meet these deserving people who need our help. Each person has a story...each of those stories makes it important for us to fill the shelves at the Food Bank! The children they serve count on them to get them and their families through these tough times. Your support provides food on their tables, as well programs such as Special Needs Hampers, Tiny Bundles and Vitality, that increase the overall health of our community. In June at Global Fitness we held a Group Fitness class were all cash donations and food went towards the Food Bank. We collected $144.67 and over filled our basket with healthy food. |

CHARITY DETAILS
HIKE DETAILS Along the way you will be cheered on and encouraged from fellow P.A.C.E. Sports Fitness trail runners, who will bring their passion for the trails to help motivate you in your workout. At the top we will have snacks to help refuel you before you start your descent back down the trail on a different trail. Both routes will be well-marked with different colored flagging and volunteers will be present to help motivate and direct you! The hike is suitable for all levels, however the route is a gradual climb (with some steeper sections) to the top. The descent will be down a similar trail to the bottom.
• Please bring your donations to the Food Runners Van and set up table between 10:30 and 11:00am. The hike will start at 11:00 and the course will remain open until 1:00pm. |

Our Director of Group Fitness, Rene Unser, helped organize a charity ride and raise awareness for Kids Cancer at Global. Jenn Davies rode her bike inside our facility and talked with our members about her story and about her upcoming journey to cycle across Canada in an effort to raise money for kids living with Cancer. We want to thank our AMAZING members who took the time to talk to Jenn, contribute towards her goal and for those who took part in our 'inside ride' which was a 1hr spin class taught by Rene. We are proud to have such generous people in our city and we are happy for the opportunity to support a local with such a huge heart. We wish Jenn all the luck and safety on her upcoming ride. |
