PCRC to hold cycling event in Shelton

To raise awareness, funds 

SHELTON- Saving Lives Restoring Hope, the Second Annual Pedal for PCRC community cycling event benefiting the Lower Naugatuck Valley Parent Child Resource Center, will be held May 19.

This signature event will raise awareness and funds for PCRC's many diverse treatment and preventative programs.
The money raised will be dedicated to the PCRC mission of 'Saving lives by passionately caring for children, families, and community.'

Participants may choose from one of three route options and ride at your own pace. Start and finish location is at PerkinElmer lower parking area on Bridgeport Avenue.

Route Options 62- Mile Loop (Participants must be 16 and up) 30-Mile Loop (Participants must be 16 and up) 15-Mile Loop (Participants 14-15 permitted with adult guardian) Kids Ride (Participants must be accompanied by adult guardian)

Each cyclist commits to raising a minimum of $250 for PCRC. Cyclists who raise $500 or more will be issued a custom Pedal for PCRC jersey.
Volunteers are encouraged to raise funds to help PCRC reach a goal of $50,000. Funds will be used toward deficits and shortfalls in current funding for PCRC’s many diverse programs.

Guests of riders will not be permitted on PerkinElmer lower parking area grounds until noon. They will be directed to enter the area through the back, in order to keep our front entrance free of car traffic for the safety of riders.
The cycling event will take place rain or shine, pack rain gear just in case.

Parents will need to supervise their children at all times during the event.
