Pedal for Public Schools

From Chris Willis

I believe that public schools and public school employees are amazing. I’m riding my bike across America and raising money to donate to the school districts I visit each day.

Update #3

In just about 2 weeks George and I will hit the road for the west coast and begin our journey. As you know we will be making donations back to 51 different school districts along the bike route. With that number in mind I would like to put forward a 51-51 Challenge. Can you help me get 51 unique donations that will push us over $5100 donated? I need 25 new donors to donate at least a total of $600 before we leave. Thank you to all our donors and as always Like, Share, and Follow.

Update #2

A HUGE thank you to the early donors! Can we double it?!?!? I will be announcing the campaign to the identified school districts next week and it would be great to have the first 10% of the goal raised when I do. Donate if you can or share with others that might be interested. Both are great ways to help say thank you to public schools.
