What: As the leading provider of children’s behavioral health care, Parent-Child Resource Center is hosting its signature cycling fundraiser, “Pedal for PCRC” on May 31, with proceeds supporting diverse programs and services vital to the health of our community.
New features include a 2-mile Kids’ Ride, Health Fair, and “Activity Spree.” These will all take place in the contained parking lots at PerkinElmer. We would like individuals who are not able to ride, families of riders, healthcare professionals, and other community members to still be able to participate in our signature event. Also, the purpose of the “Spree” is to provide the opportunity for all who attend to try something new. Security will be present to ensure the safety of all participants.
A “Thank You” BBQ will take place at noon for the street riders with lunch, provided by Dave M. Grant Caterers and beer will be provided by Two Roads Brewing, Southport Brewing and Black Hog Brewing.
Food and beverages will be sold at cost for all guests who are not riding.
WPLR also will have a tent and play music.
