Getting active for a good cause

A new mobile app Biko turns kilometres traveled – by biking, walking, jogging or even skateboarding – into rewards; “bikos” you can claim for yourself or donate for free to a good cause. And from now until October 16, 2016 Biko users can donate their rewards to United Way British Columbia! The more bikos United Way receives, the higher portion we will receive a generous $25,000 donation from longtime United Way partner Pacific Blue Cross. How it works Get the App Download the Biko App for your Apple or Android device. Get Tracking Start an activity in the app anytime you are moving about during the day. You can bike, walk, jog or even skateboard! Biko will track your kilometres travelled. See the Impact See all the “bikos” or rewards you earn for your kilometres travelled. Pay it Forward Donate your bikos to United Way by October 16, 2016. If that’s too simple, how about doubling down?  Get a Biko Buddy Recruit a friend. Challenge each other to see who can earn more bikos before October 16, and make sure to donate them to United Way.   Let your friends know that you are getting active for a good cause by sharing on Facebook.
