Description

The Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA will host the 10th Annual Bike-A-Thon on Saturday, February 11, 2012 from 7:00 am – 5:00 pm in the Multi-Purpose Gym.

This ten hour cycling event, is made up of 30 teams and over 150 participants all spinning to raise money for the YMCA’s Annual Giving Campaign. All proceeds benefit children, families and seniors in need in our community and give them the ability to access YMCA programs through financial aid. The Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA has offered quality programs and YMCA membership to all community members, regardless of ability to pay for over 41 years. Last year over 2,200 children, seniors and families received financial assistance from the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA!

Live and silent auctions, as well as program demonstrations make the Bike-A-Thon a fun and lively event. Prizes go out to teams who raise the most money and everyone receives free giveaways from local sponsors. Local eateries provide food and refreshments which increases the community support that this event generates.

If you are interested in challenging yourself and testing your fitness for this worthy cause, join a team or become a Team Captain and create one of your own of up to 10 participants.
