THANK YOU to everyone who participated and supported the 6th annual Trike & Bike on Friday! Our community showed up in a BIG way: 392 riders and corporate sponsors raised $89,049! Pediatric cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among children and receives a disproportionately small share of cancer research funding relative to its severity and impact. Our students helped change that, one lap at a time. A huge shoutout to @BCSDMemorial, whose 58-member team raised $8,141, the top school team total! Congratulations to @BCSDCrestview student Stella Wambsgans, who was the top BCSD fundraiser! The event welcomed some special guests to the pre-ride ceremony: ⭐ Brunswick Fire Chief Greg Glauner, who helped students understand the significance of riding on Sept. 11 ⭐ Gabrielle Gearhart, @BCSDBrunswickHS graduate and cancer survivor who battled the disease as a student in 2015 ⭐ Dr. Richa Sharma, @ClevelandClinic pediatric hematologist-oncologist whose lab research has been funded by Trike and Bike proceeds None of this would be possible without founder and Brunswick City Manager Carl DeForest. He has poured years of hard work and heart into building this event from the ground up. He was inspired by Collin Nemet, a BCSD student who lost his battle with brain cancer in 2021, just short of his 12th birthday. After meeting Collin and his family, Carl committed himself to bringing this event to life in our community, and it has now raised more than $327,000 for pediatric cancer research. Thank you, Carl! Thank you to our students, families, and staff who got behind this cause! This is what makes Brunswick special. We can't wait to ride again next year!
