2022 Event Wrap-up
First of all, thanks to all of you for helping to make the 2022 Forest City Cycling Challenge a great success!! We sold out our registration and we have exceeded our fundraising goal!
Thanks to all of our volunteers, without whom the event could not have happened.
And finally, thanks to all the sponsors and donors who contributed the funds for us to meet the fundraising goal!
Just a few other items:
- Fundraising:
We are very pleased to announce that our fundraising total for 2022 will be a little over $60,000, which will be donated to St. Joseph’s Health Care Foundation for mental health care. Our goal was $40,000 so that new total really is amazing! - Draw Prizes and Fundraising Incentives:
Winners are listed on the ridelondon.ca website. - Photos:
The photos taken by the photographers from the London Camera Club are being uploaded and can be found here. - Survey:
A survey link was sent to all registered participants on June 23, 2022. If you were registered but didn't receive the link, please check your bulk/spam email folder or contact us directly for the link. - Sponsor Offers:
Remember to visit the Columbia Sportswear Employee Store (invitations were in the participant kits) by July 1, 2022. Columbia will donate 10% of retail purchase value back to the FCCC.
Please visit our sponsors and mention that you heard about them through the Forest City Cycling Challenge. - Leftover Food:
Food left over from the rest stops and start/finish was donated to Rotholme Family Shelter (part of Mission Services in London). - Tax Receipts:
Tax receipts will be mailed out directly from St. Joseph’s Health Care Foundation and you should receive them by around the end of July. - The 2023 Event:
