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 Telethon
Dates for 2010 to be announced
CJOH-TV, Rogers Ottawa, Bell ExpressVu 196 and Star Choice 311
This telethon raises money for the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

CHEO's Teddy Bear Picnic
June 26, 2010
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.

Relay for Life
Different dates depending on location
Various locations around Ottawa
This 12-hour overnight relay raises money for cancer awareness and cancer research.

Terry Fox Run
September 19, 2010
The Terry Fox Run has raised over $300 million worldwide for cancer research. You can participate at various locations in Ottawa (downtown, Kanata, Orleans).

It is hard to list just a few of the Ottawa fundraisers because there are so many. If you want to get involved, check with the charity of your choice or check in the newspapers for upcoming events.

So get out there and get involved!
