Bethany chamber donates bike tour proceeds to Contractors for a Cause

June 23, 2019

The Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce presented checks to Contractors for a Cause and local volunteer fire companies for their participation in this year’s Ocean to Bay Bike Tour April 30. The presentation was made at the chamber’s May Business After Hours networking event, hosted by the Freeman Stage.

The Selbyville, Millville, Bethany Beach and Roxana volunteer fire companies were presented with $500 each, in appreciation of their support during the bike tour.

Contractors for a Cause, a nonprofit organization composed of local contractors who work together to give back to the community, was presented with a check for $8,945, 10 percent of the net proceeds for the bike tour. Contractors for a Cause offers free construction and maintenance services to disadvantaged community members, provides high school scholarships and more.

In addition to raising money through the bike tour, the chamber invested more than $50,000 throughout the local community for event expenses and the Continue the Tour Program offered to chamber members.
