Habitat for Humanity:
Sea Gull Century riders have contributed more than $100,000
to build Habitat for Humanity
houses in Wicomico County. Thank you for your gifts that
helped to make the American dream of homeownership possible for 50
local, hard-working families. Habitat expects to start its 53rd home
in September—its 10th in the East Church Street neighborhood. Your
2008 gifts will help
bring the pride of homeownership back to this troubled inner-city
neighborhood.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Team In Training:
The Sea Gull Century is an official destination of the Team
in Training Program. If you have an interest in this program call
1-800-482-TEAMor visit www.teamintraining.org for more information.
Salisbury University Scholarship Fund:
A portion of proceeds over and above Century ride expenses go
toward the Sea Gull Century Scholarship Fund at SU. Last year our
Century riders donated an additional $2,172. The committee awarded
its first five scholarships. See your registration form to make a
donation.
Local Non-Profits:
Each year, Sea Gull Century proceeds benefit dozens of non-profit
organizations in the community. A sample of organizations receiving
contributions last year included the Learn with SU lifelong learning
program, Healthy U of Delmarva, Ocean City Lioness Club, Powellville
Fire Department Ladies’ Auxiliary, Helping Hands of Beaver Dam, the
League of American Bicyclists and University of Maryland Eastern
Shore. The Century also provided funding for SU campus enhancements
and student organizations, such as Relay For Life. Donations totaled
some $75,000.
