Charity Riders Still Looking for Riders to Raise Funds for the Children’s Hospital

The Saskatchewan Corrections Charity Riders have been using the sport of biking to raise money for local charities.

This year, the group is intent on making their biggest impact to date by combining the Prince Albert, Saskatoon and Regina proceeds to go to one worthy cause: The Children's Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan. For more information on the Children's Hospital Foundation go to the website at:

There are three rides this year. The first is in Prince Albert, June 3rd. The second is in Regina June 10th and the third is in Saskatoon June 17th. Each is approximately 110 km.

“This isn't an endurance test,” says organizer Jerry Jarvis. “This is an opportunity to have a great afternoon of fun while raising money for a great cause. We have everything the participants need: a truck to pick up anyone who is done along the way, water, a masseuse, everything.”

Typically the group sees approximately 30 riders per event but Jarvis is intent on seeing many, many more riders this year – raising a record amount of money.

The riders include staff who are corrections workers, probation officers, community trainers, residence staffers, staff from Pine Grove and the Urban Camp, City Police and RCMP. The Federal Pen. Staff has also been invited to participate as is anyone wanting to help raise money for the cause.
