Posted: July 23rd, 2012 4:27 PM
On July 14, and 15, Vancouver resident Glenn D. Bonner cycled over 200 miles in the 2012 Seattle to Portland (STP) Bicycle Classic to raise donations for this year's Windermere Foundation charity of choice, the Children's Justice Center. Glenn was one of 10,000 cyclists who joined in this ride, personally raising an impressive $2,500 in donations to support the work of the Children's Justice Center and surpassing his original target of $2,000.
"Donations like this one are so wonderful because they help us do more for child victims of crime in our community." Mary Blanchette, the director of the Children's Justice Center.
"I can't tell you what a blessing it was to ride for the Children's Justice Center. People's generous response to this great cause made the effort a real honor." Glenn D. Bonner, Realtor - Windermere Real Estate/Stellar Group.
Children's Justice Center:
The Children's Justice Center provides a safe and supportive place for child victims of criminal-level abuse. The center's multidisciplinary response team works together to help child victims and their non-offending family members access healing and supportive services, as well as ensuring that specially-trained investigators and prosecutors do their best to identify and hold perpetrators of abuse crimes against children accountable through our judicial system.
Glenn D. Bonner/Windermere Foundation:
A Realtor with Windermere Real Estate/Stellar Group and member of the local Windermere Foundation Board, this was Glenn's second STP. He plans to complete next year's ride in one day and to double the donation goal. If you'd like to help Glenn reach that goal, contact him at GlennDBonner@gmail.com.
The Windermere Foundation has raised over $23 million for programs and organizations that provide shelter, clothing, children's programs, emergency assistance and other services to those who need our help the most.
Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic:
The Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic began in 1979 and had grown to one of the top 10 largest recreational rides in the country. Most riders take two days to complete the 204 mile journey, but an impressive 15% complete the ride in one day.
