Biking for Bubbies & Zadies is Ottawa's premier fundraising event for long-term care, benefiting the Bess and Moe Greemberg Family Hillel Lodge - the sole Jewish long-term care facility in the region.
Our annual event gathers hundreds to support the residents living at the lodge, each rider aiming to raise at least $500. Alongside the main event, the Family Fun Zone offers activities like face painting, crafts, and making the event enjoyable for all ages.
Become an integral part of this remarkable event and contribute directly to the well-being and care of the Bubbies and Zaidies at Hillel Lodge. Together, we can create a lasting impact and ensure a brighter future for those living at the Bess and Moe Greenberg Family Hillel Lodge of Ottawa.
