Fuller Center Bicycle Adventure
Fuller Center Bicycle Adventure
June 5 - August 10, 2014
The Fuller Center Bicycle Adventure is a summer-long service opportunity
plus an awesome adventure! We'll be biking across the country from Atlantic
City, NJ to Astoria, OR, stopping to build homes along the way, and raising
awareness and funds to help end poverty housing around the world. You can join
us for the whole trip, or for one of the nine week-long segments, and you don't
have to be an experienced cyclist to ride! Learn more at www.fullercenter.org/bikeadventure or contact the trip leader, Melissa Merrill, at bike@fullercenter.org.

LEAP (Lead Activate Engage Philanthropy)
Lead, Engage, Activate Philanthropy (“LEAP”) is a growing network of students and community organizations that want to use their time, talent and resources to support Cleveland Clinic’s mission of providing world-class healthcare and commitment to “patient’s first.”
LEAP was designed for people who are passionate about bringing a smile to the faces of our patients as they face devastating medical challenges. It provides the opportunity to learn about and become involved with Cleveland Clinic, collaborate and network and make a difference in the lives of our patients and their families. LEAP members volunteer their time to help raise money, educate, and inspire others to get involved.
We ask you to get involved in any of the following ways:
1. Host your own fundraising event with friends,
2. Turn your favorite event into a fundraising opportunity,
3. Become a VeloSano (bike) rider or volunteer (www.velosano.org) to help raise money for cancer research.
