The inaugural Wheels for Meals cycling event was a huge success. Almost 300 riders participated in the event to benefit Meals On Wheels of Greenville. Over $83,000 was raised to help provide hot nutritious meals to the elderly or incapacitated residents of Greenville County. Please join us again on April 26, 2008 as we continue our mission to support this worthwhile organization. In 2008 our goal is to have at least 500 participants and raise a minimum of $100,000.
Look for more detailed information about our 2008 event coming soon!
Thanks to our top individual fund raisers!
We sincerely thank those riders who individually participated in the 2007 Wheels For Meals fund raising challenge. Your efforts were a great part of the success of the event. The two top fund raisers were presented with an event jersey signed by George Hincapie. Amazingly, the top fund raiser was 7 year old Asher Wood who raised over $1700. Asher also competed in and completed the 25 mile ride. Way to go Asher! Our second place fund raiser was Richard Gerspacher who raised over $1600. Richard is an employee of Fluor and also a participant on the Fluor cycling team. Thank you Richard. A special thanks goes to our event presenting sponsor, Fluor Corporation. Fluor’s support went beyond sponsorship with Team Fluor employees raising over $16,000!
