Hop on your bike and join the Program in Jewish Studies Team for the Buffalo Bicycle Classic on Sunday, Sept. 13...
|
The Buffalo Bicycle Classic was a dream project of Todd Gleeson, Dean of CU Boulder's College of Arts and Sciences (home to the Program in Jewish Studies), and some of the Boulder region's most community-minded business leaders and philanthropists.
The goal was to create an event that would bring much needed funding to students in the College of Arts and Sciences, and that would also be a unifying experience for the University of Colorado, the Boulder area, and the Colorado community at large. Since 2003, this fun and active fundraiser has raised more than $1M to support student scholarships!
Join the Program in Jewish Studies Team this year for a fun day of bike riding through beautiful Boulder that includes a continental breakfast, rides for all ability levels and families (14 mile Little Buff, 35, 50, 70 and 100 mile courses) and a post ride party! As a member for the Program in Jewish Studies Team you can select any ride you would like to participate in (the Team does not have to ride the same course). Details and descriptions can be found at www.buffalobicycleclassic.com/ride/
As the challenging economy has made the need even greater for such scholarship programs, help us reach this year's goal of $300,000.
