Ottawa
Fundraisers

The amount of Ottawa Fundraisers seems to grow every year. We think some of the ideas that the local charities come up with are absolutely brilliant. There are, of course, the normal bike-a-thons & walk-a-thons but there are also some very creative fundraisers like riding your motorcycle or participating in an overnight relay.

You may want to participate in a fundraiser or you may prefer to get involved by buying a ticket to one of the Charity lotteries. Whatever you decide to do, applaud yourself for getting involved and helping out those in need in this great city.

Here are a few of the fundraisers in Ottawa:

Motorcycle Ride for Dad
June 5, 2010
This fundraiser raises money for Prostate cancer research and education. This is one of the most creative fundraisers that we have ever heard of. Picture thousands of men, women and children riding motorcycles on a designated route throughout the city. Prostate cancer is the #1 male cancer in Canada and can be a very sensitive issue to talk about.

CHEO's Teddy Bear Picnic
Dates for 2010 to be announced
Rideau Hall
We went for the first time in 2009 and our children loved it. We could have spent the entire day there. They loved the entertainment, the rides, the medical clinic for their teddy bears. It was an excellent way to spend a nice summer day.
