I wanted to update everyone on the Project 680 Community Bike Ride last weekend. A group of us met at Hagan Park in Rancho Cordova to enjoy a ride along the American River trails for the cause of raising money and collecting socks for local homeless students. Our official sock and money count will be tallied on Thursday evening, so stay tuned to www.project680.org or on our our Facebook page.

Thank you everyone for your support. Together we can make a difference and be the difference for local students struggling with stable living situations. Thank you also to Keith Klassen, who “raided the aisle“, came on the bike ride, and whose back makes a prominent appearance in the video at 15 seconds (guy wearing black and gray). 

I’m very excited to announce Project 680′s upcoming “Biking for Socks” event on May 8, 2010. We are doing a community bike ride in order to accomplish three things: 1) Bring awareness to the problem of student homelessness in the FCUSD; 2) Collect socks for homeless kids in the FCUSD; and 3) Gather up a few bucks to be able to give to the District Liaison for Homeless Services so she can meet the needs of students on an “as needed” basis – meaning that when the neediest of students come to her, she can simply take care of some of the things they need – whether clothing, deodarant, shoes, study materials, etc….

Please have a look at the video below and let me know if you have any questions, ideas, or a desire to get involved in any way. Click HERE if you don’t see the video in your RSS or email subscription. Also, you can sign up for the event on Facebook HERE.
