Rotary Club of North Bay Kilometres for Kids! Saturday, March 7, 2009.

This annual event raises money to assist physically challenged kids in North Bay and area. If you are not familiar with this program, every cent raised stays in the area and helps provide these children and their families with the resources to make their lives as normal as possible ... things like the purchase of specialized sports equipment, a wheelchair. or the construction of an access ramp.

It is the mission of the Rotary Club or North Bay to see that no child is disadvantaged when all it takes is a little effort to provide a better lifestyle.

a.. The club has set its fund raising goal at $4,000 this year, and asks that you invite your skiers to participate.and for them to bring a friend or another family member.

a.. Thanks to our generous sponsors, the venue, skis and snowshoe equipment is provided (to those who do not have access to equipment).
