On Saturday, October 19, Biking For Books will be hosting its seventh annual cycling event. The funds raised from this event will be used to purchase and donate books to Saint Louis City Schools.

Education of the next generations of Americans is an important national priority. For America to compete and lead in the world, all children must have access to a quality education. Unfortunately, education of our children sometimes does not get the attention and resources that are necessary. It is in recognition of this need that we organize an annual biking event to raise funds for schools in the Saint Louis city area.

Biking4Books will include a 10, 25 and 50 mile riding course; participants of all ages are welcome to ride and show their support for this cause. The funds raised from this event will be used to purchase and donate books to Saint Louis City Schools; our goal for 2018 is to raise at least $40,000.
