The 17th Annual YMCA Cycle for Strong Kids

Presented by: The Payton and Dillon Budd Memorial Fund

Thank You!

The YMCA of Southern Interior BC extends an enormous THANK YOU to the riders, sponsors, donors, attendees, staff, volunteers, the City of Kelowna, and everyone else who made this extraordinary event such an amazing success.

We Did It! 

YOU helped make a difference in a child’s life. The goal for the event was to raise enough funds to support 1,300 low-income children and at-risk youth in our community, and we blew this goal out of the water!

We are thrilled to announce that together we raised over $215,000! A record-breaking year!

With 1 in 8 children in BC living in poverty, many families are unable to afford extracurricular activities. Because of you, not only will all funds raised stay local, but they'll also provide low-income children and at-risk youth with free or subsidized YMCA membership, and access to our Child & Youth Development Programs, including Mental Health Supports, Dropout Prevention Programs, Family Support Services, and so much more.

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. This year, over 290 adults and 35 children took centre stage at Stuart Park, pedaling for hope and change. It was an action-packed day, with thousands of families enjoying our new Kids Zone with bouncy castles, giant slide, face painting, NHL Street Hockey, amazing superheroes and a variety of delicious offerings from local food vendors.
