Syracuse Home to Oldest Bikers for Babies RideJacob Donnelly
July 28, 2009
SYRACUSE, N.Y.- Personal injury lawyers Alexander & Catalano are presenting the 17th Annual March of Dimes Bikers for Babies ride this Saturday in Syracuse. The Syracuse event is the oldest Bikers for Babies event and is set to take off Saturday morning from ten different starting locations including Oneida and Cortland. The ride will finish at Jamesville Beach where lunch and entertainment will be provided.
Pat Campany is the Division Director for the March of Dimes Central New York Division and she says that the event should draw big numbers, "Typically, a thousand (riders) is probably the minimum...We should have about 1,500 cycles and closer to...3,000 people...with passengers." It costs $25 for both riders and passengers and that pays for the lunch and entertainment at Jamesville Beach.
She says that the donations do not stop there because "For every dollar we raise, March of Dimes invest two dollars back into our area." The money will go to several research projects in the Syracuse area including one research project that is looking into more humane treatments for childhood Luekemia.
The Onondaga Sheriff's Department will be excorting riders in the Syracuse area. Bikers can also expect anywhere from a 70-110 mile ride before finishing at the Jamesville Beach.
STARTING LOCATIONS:
- Auburn Ride
- Binghamton Ride
- Cortland Ride
- Oneida Ride
- Sherburne Ride
- Utica/Rome Ride
- Waterown Ride
- Watkins Glen Ride
- Painted Post (Corning)
