JUNE 15 and 16, 2010
Bike and Build was founded in 2002 by Marc Bush. Marc was a former leader of a Habitat Bicycle Challenge and wanted to expand upon that program. Marc believes that this type of experience empowers young adults to take socially conscious and responsible action. The money each trip raises through this effort enables affordable housing organizations to expand operations and serve more constituents. Additionally, the publicity that each trip generates creates a more informed communal awareness about this issue.
Over seven seasons, Bike & Build has contributed $2,305,345 to housing groups to fund projects planned and executed by young adults; this includes $662,200 donated from the summer of 2009 (more than $163,000 more than 2008). Through pre-arranged gifts, Bike & Build funds affordable housing projects executed by our participants in communities where our events begin. Through our grant program, our organization identifies and supports exciting projects involving young people all throughout the nation. Bike & Build also supports local affordable housing organizations along each route through on the road donations.
Bike & Build's expansive national footprint allows thier organization to promote the need for and importance of affordable housing in 47 states, 1 province, and hundreds of communities nationwide. Through print, TV media, radio, town-hall style meetings, and informal grassroots interaction, Bike & Build participants bring the organization's message to thousands of people from all walks of life.
