Rodman Ride For Kids A Success
On September 26th, the Club took part in the Annual Rodman Ride for Kids. The event offered riders who are raising funds for youth serving agencies the opportunity to take part in a 25, 50 or 100 mile bike ride through the towns of Southeastern Massachusetts. With great weather on our side over 1,200 riders, along with over 300 corporate sponsors, helped raise over $6 million for organizations that provide programs and services to youth. The Boys and Girls Club, which had a number of corporations and friends supporting our cause, expects to raise over $325,000 from the event to support vital programs being offered in all three centers. In addition, over 30 volunteers including staff, parents, alumni and teen members of the Keystone Club spent the day operating a waterstop. We would like to thank our many teams and corporate sponsors who supported the Club effort and also the many board members and community riders who raised funds as part of the agency team. Lastly, many thanks to the Ride staff for their energy and assistance and to Mr. Don Rodman, the organizer of this event, who continues to enthusiastically support the Boys and Girls Club and its members, as well as youth from many other well known non-profit organizations that work with kids. For more information on any of our upcoming special event fundraisers please contact Kip Parker at (617) 288-7120, ext. 1130.
