In CFA's continual pursuit to help make a difference in the world community CFA Beta Club, under the direction of Becky Copenhaver, has partnered with Bikes for the World, to do a city wide bicycle drive on November 13th, 2010.
Previously, under sponsorship of a New Jersey-based non-profit, the network comprising Bikes for the World collected and shipped more than 28,000 bikes over the period 1995-2004, to organizations in Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Barbados, Eritrea, Ghana, South Africa, and Uganda.
Our goal at Cape Fear is to collect 100 bicycles!
These bikes provide transportation for the citizens of these countries enabling to increase their salary, which in turn helps them support their families. It is truly a service project with a ripple effect, changing lives of people around the world.
We will be providing further information and ways that you can contribute to this wonderful program. Please contact Becky Copenhaver (in the Upper School) if you would like to participate.
