Bike for Brent

2013 Bike for Brent Dates Announced

The Bike for Brent organizers have confirmed that they will ride again in 2013!   Last year, with the generous support of the Becket-Chimney Corners community, twelve riders raised more than $8,000   to fully fund two camperships - one at Becket and one at Chimney Corners - in recognition of Brent Jackson's long-time affiliation with both camps.   In 2013, the Bike for Brent team is looking to increase the number of participants on the ride, and to continue their fundraising success in support of the Annual Fund.

As it has in the past, the 2013 event will feature a 125-mile, two-day ride from Newton, MA to Becket over the weekend of June 29 & 30.   The first day leg of the ride will take the riders from Newton to Northampton.   The riders will complete their trek on Sunday, June 30, biking from Northampton to Becket, and arriving in camp just in time for lunch!
