Annual Christmas Event To Benefit Mel Trotter Ministries

Annual Cycling Event To Benefit Mel Trotter Ministries December 16th

It is that time of the year to begin planning for the annual December event to collect underwear and socks as well as donations for the Mel Trotter Ministries. The event will occur on Thursday December 16th from 7 PM to 11 PM at McFadden’s Restaurant & Saloon at 58 Ionia Avenue SW.

Invite friends and family to join members of the the cycling community as we help support this worthwhile cause. Bring underwear, socks and/or funds to participate in this fun night.

A new service has been added this year to place holiday tubs at various shops and businesses around the area to collect items from those unable to join us on the evening of the event. If you would like to place a collection tub at your work or favorite coffee shop please let me know. Watch for upcoming announcements on the locations of these collection points.

Below is the link to last year’s TV17 interview that describes the background and objective of the activity. (Be ready to turn the volume down because it kicks off with a commercial and be patient as it seems to run extremely slow…I suspect that it is archived in the back room and does not get much play.) Watch for more current media coverage as we get closer to the date of the event.
