Loop the Lake for Literacy Event

I will be competing in the Loop the Lake for Literacy race, a 31-mile bike ride around Lake Okeechobee, on Saturday, Feb. 25. This event raises money for the Palm Beach County Literacy Coalition, a cause my school and I are both very involved with.

I am currently seeking donors, race volunteers, and race participants to join the G-Star School of the Arts Team. If you are interested in helping, please use the following links. Any donation would be greatly appreciated, and I would love your support as a race volunteer or participant as well!

Thank you again for all of your support. I hope to see you at the race!

How to Help:

DONATE: Visit http://www.active.com/donate/loopthelake2012/TMarcel (or visit the race Web site, click the “Donate Now” button, and search for G-Star), to make a secure donation on the event Web site. You will then be able to view your donation on the Web site. Remember, even one dollar helps the PBC Literacy Coalition! G-Star’s goal is to be recognized as one of the top-three donors.
