(Edmonton) – On Sunday June 16, the Edmonton Jewish Senior Citizen’s Centre is hosting their Bagel Loop: Walk/Run/Roll at Victoria Park, 12030 River Valley Road in NW Edmonton.

“We welcome all ages to come be an active part of our community and join us for our famous 2024 Bagel Loop,” said Executive Director Svetlana Pavlenko. “Our seniors will gear up their canes, walkers and wheelchairs and join their family, friends and neighbours to Walk, Run & Roll around Victoria Park at the Fourth Annual Bagel Loop, the only event of its kind in Edmonton.”

It is a unique friendraiser – a fundraiser put on BY Seniors FOR Seniors and their Families in support of our Centre, explained Svetlana.  “Please support us by participating in a fun pledge challenge. Gather pledges over three days for your participation: ask your family members for $25 (day 1), ask your neighbours for $25 (Day 2), ask your doctors, pharmacists, hairdressers, nail specialists, mechanics, favourite shop owners (Day 3). You will reach your goal of $100!”
