Donor Spotlight:
José Bermúdez Races 4,228 miles for B/CS Habitat
|
On June 3, 2017, José Luis Bermúdez, Professor of Philosophy at Texas A& M University, mounted his bike and started to race for B/CS Habitat for the third time. He will begin the TransAmerica Bike Race in Astoria, OR, and race 4,228 miles to Yorktown, VA.
This time he is hoping to raise $27,500 in order to co-sponsor a third home for a family in the Bryan-College Station area. José will be covering all the expenses associated with the race, so all funds raised will go directly to B/CS Habitat toward the co-sponsorship.
