Thank you for your generous support of the Rotary Club of Vancouver’s Ride for Hearing fundraiser in past years. The Ride is in support of those who are deaf or suffering from hearing loss. Most of us know someone who is coping with hearing loss or other hearing related disabilities. Please help Rotary to "Bring Back the Sounds of Life"!
Last year the Rotary Club of Vancouver annual Ride for Hearing raised over $150,000 to assist those suffering from hearing disabilities and to find remedies for hearing loss where possible. Despite not having a Ride for Hearing in 2020 and 2021, the Rotary Club of Vancouver Hearing Foundation donated $30,000.00 to St. Paul's Hospital for the Cochlear Implant Clinic and $14,000.00 to the BC Family Hearing Resource Society for new laptops and computers (2021). In 2020 it donated $100,000.00 to St. Paul's Hospital to the BC Rotary Hearing Clinic and $10,000.00 to the Hearing Foundation of Canada for the Sound Sense Program for First Nations. Please consider donating to this important cause again this year.
The ride begins at 6:00 am on Sunday July 9, 2023 at Spanish Banks, Vancouver and follows a route around UBC, out to Steveston, Richmond and back to the City of Vancouver, around Stanley Park, ending at Spanish Banks East, covering about 105 kilometers.
