Join Bar Association Team for July 15 ACS Bike-a-Thon
The Philadelphia Bar Association American Cancer Society Bike-a-Thon team is back again and stronger than ever. For the fourth straight year, members of the Association, their families and friends will be getting on their bicycles and riding across the Benjamin Franklin Bridge all the way to Atlantic County, N.J. as part of the American Cancer Society Bike-a-Thon.
The July 15 event will celebrate its 35th year this year and will raise money in the fight against cancer. The American Cancer Society Bike-a-Thon raised more than $1.7 million last year and had more than 4,500 riders participating. Last year the Philadelphia Bar team donated more than $93,000 and had more than 150 riders.
This past year, the Bar team lost its captain, Stephen T. Saltz, to his long battle against cancer. Saltz was an avid cyclist and participated in the ACS Bike-a-Thon over the past years when he was physically able to do so. Stephen was an inspiration to the entire Bar Association. This year, the Bar Association team will honor Saltz having his name prominently displayed on newly designed jerseys.
The theme for this yearÂ’s bike-a-thon is "Who Are You Riding For?" Do something special for someone and ride in their memory or honor, or just go to acsbike.org and make a donation or become a volunteer.
