After hundreds of hours of planning and 100 miles of pavement, our Inaugural Beach Century Bike Tour & Concert raised more than $22,000 to help children with life-threatening illness and severe hardship . . . thanks to the support of our sponsors and riders. As our cyclists pedaled through Chesapeake and the farmlands of the Albemarle, they were greeted with cheers at each rest stop, encouragement at every corner, and the best after-party celebration with a great live concert by Dilana Robichaux from Rock Star Supernova! We extend our warmest appreciation to premier sponsors Chartway Federal Credit Union, Fat Frogs Bike & Fitness, Footworks, Frame Packaging Solutions, WAVY TV-10, Beach Facilities Solutions Group and our other generous donors for giving Maggie a day to swim like a Mermaid, Ethan a moment to play in the snow and Christopher, his very own bicycle. Because you believed in the power of dreams, our children are able to realize theirs.
