Halfway to Heaven

Description

Road

Distance - 3, 10, or 30 Miles

The Bike Ride and Golf Outing is in memory of Bernie Urich, an avid bicyclist and musician who died in a work-related accident. Proceeds from the ride will provide annual scholarships for college bound students.

Bernie loved a good-hearted tease. On June 9, 2008, he was working at a high elevation at his job in Garner. In one last act of good-natured ribbing, he called an office secretary and asked, "Guess where I'm at?" She couldn't guess what he was up to that time. "I'm halfway to heaven!" he proclaimed with his typical enthusiasm. This 'Halfway to Heaven' adage has become a source of unity and strength, for family and friends.

47 Scholarship Recipients have received more than $29,700 in scholarship awards to date & 45 grants were given to HS students wishing to further their music education totaling $10,275.

Join us, Saturday June 9th - for the 10th Annual Halfway to Heaven Scholarship Ride & Golf Outing as we raise money to award scholarships to deserving students. Seven more scholarships were given this year!
