Chippie sponsors fundraising bike-athon.

utsdonatestobikeathon05062011Chippie supported the fundraising efforts of the Alpha and Omega Foundation by funding a bike-athon that was held Sunday morning. The well-attended bike-athon, organized by the Soualiga Riders, was open to all ages, from 2 to 100 years old. The bike-athon started at the John Larmonie Center, turned on to the Bush road, went on to the Jose Cooper Ball park and Coralita Road. From there it continued to Point Blanche, down Backstreet and ended on the boardwalk. On the boardwalk leg of the bike-athon, the youngest participants of 2 to 4 years old also joined in on the fun. Funds raised during the bike-athon will go towards the purchase of a playground for the Alpha and Omega Foundation playschool. "We were delighted to be able to support the school. Especially because it is raising funds by showing kids that they can have fun through exercise," says UTS Marketing and Communications Officer Ivy Lambert.
