Testimonial
"WBYO serves under-privileged children in the core area with social, recreational and educational programming, and as a former participant and 'graduate' of the program, I cannot speak highly enough about the profound impact that WBYO has in the lives of the children it serves."

WBYO's 5th Annual Ride 4 Kids Fundraiser
West Broadway Youth Outreach's Annual RIDE 4 KIDS gathering is a fun-filled,
three-hour event focused on fundraising for educational supports for our cities children.
The event will help provide funds for our Homework Club programming, Straight-A-Effort activities, and Scholarship program. Together, we would like to help improve the lives of children and teens in Winnipeg's inner city and beyond.
WBYO's RIDE 4 KIDS route begins at Mulvey School Field, travels West on Wolseley Avenue, crosses Omand's Creek via Portage Avenue Trail and ends with a neighbourhood BBQ for all registrants at FoodFare (115 Maryland St).
2026 will be the 5th year of this event and with the anticipated overwhelming support of the community, we will strive to grow it moving forward. We will have a group of dedicated volunteers and staff that will work diligently to create a uniquely amazing cycling experience for riders of all levels.
Please take a moment to get to know more about the great work WBYO is doing in the
West Broadway area and beyond. By joining this fun-filled event, you will aid in
making our cities' children realize that their potential lies just beyond infinity.
