The 17th Annual YMCA Cycle for Strong Kids

Presented by: The Payton and Dillon Budd Memorial Fund

Join us for the 17th Annual YMCA Cycle for Strong Kids and ignite the healthy and lifelong development of children and youth in our community.

A day of fun and activities

YMCA Cycle for Strong Kids is a one day, action packed event made possible through the generosity and support of local donors, partners and participants. Teams of riders sign up, raise funds and come together to participate in a fun and rewarding 45-minute outdoor cycle class in support of low-income children and at-risk youth.

New this year, YMCA Cycle for Strong Kids will be full of family-fun activities for all ages to enjoy. Activities by donation will include:

A kid zone with face painting, a bouncy castle and carnival-like games
Street hockey
Several food options including a BBQ, pizza and more
There are even junior bikes for the young riders in your family (must be pre-registered)

Ride, donate, or come on down to Stuart Park, downtown Kelowna, to support this amazing cause while making lasting memories!
