Michael and Virgil Biked for Backpacks!

Michael and Virgil have strong legs. They also have big hearts. This dynamic duo pedaled from the Denver Tech Center over the mountains to Vail and back on a 5-day adventure to feed kids.  This is their second year supporting Bike for Backpacks, a cross country bike tour to raise awareness and provide food for hungry kids by supporting food bank backpack programs through the CE Shop Foundation. In our service area, their efforts will support Totes of Hope® – Children through Food Bank of the Rockies.

With nearly 1 in 4 kids in Colorado living in food insecure homes, these programs are an important way to ensure kids have nutritious food, especially when school meals are not available. Food Bank of the Rockies funds these programs entirely through donations and funds are greatly appreciated to help these hungry little ones.

The pair celebrated another successful year by wrapping up their ride with a fundraiser at Slattery’s in Greenwood Village. They were greeted by many friends and supporters, including sponsors Realtor® University, National Association of Realtors®, The CE Shop and V Bar. Tired, but smiling, they continued to champion their cause and spread the message that kids should not go hungry.

Thank you Michael and Virgil for your generous spirit and for making a difference in the lives of hungry kids. We appreciate your kindness!
