Summer News!
Posted by Lisa Baldwin on May 09 2017
We are excited to announce big summer changes including NEW classes, NEW instructors, a completely NEW concept & charity for our Tour de Revolution, and last but not least…a Wine Lottery!
Tour de Revolution
Our 4th annual Tour de Revolution charity event will run from July 1 - July 23. A NEW twist is that instead of riding solo you will be part of a team! The 4 teams will be chosen at random. You will help motivate each other, create team names, evoke team spirit and also raise money for a great new cause. Each day will be a new exciting challenge (details to come!) that you and your team members will complete. This is a fun twist to only counting # of classes and km on your own. All the details will be available soon.
Tour de Revolution – Breakfast Program Charity
This year, all funds raised will be donated to the Breakfast Program at our local schools. This program serves nearly 1.1 million healthy breakfasts during the school year to children who may otherwise NOT have a wholesome breakfast. The breakfasts provide foods from at least three of the four food groups from Canada’s Food Guide and requires significant outside funding to be successful. This program is operated through the HRSB (Halifax Regional School Board) and has been found to decrease absenteeism, in-class disruptions, and to increase student performance.
RevFit is delighted to be working with a charity that promotes healthy eating, and provides the under-privileged youth in our community with nutritious food.

We hope you will all work hard to support our worthy cause and ride hard for your pledges….oh and of course there will be bigger and better prizes than ever
Wine Raffle
How would you like to win up to 50 bottles of wine! This is open to EVERYONE – instructors, friends, members, family, etc.
To participate, you purchase a bottle of wine ($15-$20) and pay a $10 entry fee. All wine must be delivered to RevFit by June 1st. This is a reverse draw – meaning if your name is pulled, you are removed from the raffle. We will draw a few names each day. Don’t worry if your name gets pulled - you can buy back into the raffle up to 2 times at a cost of $15 each.
There will be 3 winners –
3rd place – 20% of the wine
2nd place – 30% of the wine
1st place – 50% of the wine
If there are 100 bottles of wine – 1st place would be 50 bottles of wine (2nd – 30 bottles, 3rd – 20 bottles)
There will also be random wine draws throughout the event.
All money raised will be used towards a fancy new digital wall timer for the group fitness room and new fly wheels and other equipment. This is the first fundraiser we have organized to raise money for your studio. Our RevFit family will utilize the benefits from all the funds raised!
