Locals pedal for dollars

Area bicycle riders raised about $5,200 last Saturday during the first Cycle for Education in Chiefland. The event began along the bike trail behind Chiefland Shopping Center and ran through Old Town and back for a ride of about 25 miles. The fundraiser attracted 33 riders and benefited the Levy County Schools Foundation's general fund. School Board member Paige Brookins, of Chiefland, was the chairperson for the Cycle for Education, spending a considerable amount of time planning and preparing last Saturday's ride. She said that the response was overwhelmingly positive, especially with the "above and beyond" effort from volunteers. "The community support and the sponsors were wonderful," Brookins said. "They were so generous and giving." A large portion of the money was raised by sponsorships and donations, but a big contributor was Levy County Commissioner Marsha Drew, of Yankeetown. Drew took donated pledges before her ride Saturday, and rode a total distance of 42 miles, singlehandedly raising $1,566 for the foundation, LCSF Coordinator Angela Johnson said.
