Local Businesses Gear Up for Providence Bridge Pedal Expo

PORTLAND, OREGON - The Providence Bridge Pedal is quickly approaching which means that businesses participating in this year's Health and Wellness Expo are getting geared up to offer contests, giveaways and important wellness-related information. This year, LifeBalance has invited over twenty-five of their preferred recreational and cultural business partners to participate in the event. A sampling of these businesses includes G.I. Joe's, Copeland Sports, Gymboree Play & Music, Portland Rock Gym and Westside Martial Arts. The LifeBalance Program has had a strategic relationship with the Providence Health System since 1998 and consistently plays an important role in planning and executing the annual Bridge Pedal Expo.

"This year we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Providence Bridge Pedal. We are happy that the LifeBalance Program has been with us for many of those years and has been a key player in the success of the Expo. We are glad that people attending the Expo will get a chance to learn more about them as well as Providence Health System's programs and services," said Lynda Werner, Director of Regional Marketing and Communications of the Providence Health System.

The LifeBalance Program is happy to provide participating local business partners with the opportunity to give back to the community, while obtaining valuable face-time with potential clientele. "Every year LifeBalance has contributed to the value of the Expo by bringing in many of its recreational and cultural business partners to display," said Paul Alati, Director of the LifeBalance Program. "The event is a great way for people to learn more about health, wellness and recreational activities that provide positive impacts on communities that people may have never known were available to them," Alati added.

The Providence Bridge Pedal Health and Wellness Expo will be held at the Double Tree Hotel - Lloyd Center Exhibit Hall on Friday, August 12 from 11:00 am - 6:30 pm and Saturday, August 13th from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm.
