Organized by the Pediatric Research Foundation’s Young Leaders Circle, Bécanes et bottines is a sporting event that allows companies and their employees to compete against each other. 

How to participate? It’s easy!

• Form a team with your collegues who commit to running, swimming or biking for the cause. 
• Team members’ mileage is added up and a certain amount per mile is donated. Donate and look for sponsors! 
• When you register, your donation must be equal to $1 per kilometre for a minimum of 500 km. 
• Each team member must raise a minimum of $100.
