• May 1, 2009 ‘Tis the season to get outdoors and do some fundraising. Just about every weekend through the end of the fall, there will be local events geared toward generating money for good causes. Bike rides, 5K runs/ walks (with and without dogs), triathlons – charitable events come in all shapes and sizes. I’m not big into participating in such things, although I’ve nothing against them. Nonprofits are hard-pressed for money these days like everyone else. But I figured if I wanted to take a long walk (I never run) or bike ride, I would do it on my own. If I wanted to support a charity, I would write a check. The two don’t have to go hand-in-hand.
But if time allows, I will reverse that policy Sunday to participate in the Amoeba Rock Ride put on by my old buddy Jeff Sambur.
