Biking Benefit for The Core Project

Local 70-year-old Jerre Brimer will bike 1,000 mi. between Miami and Mobile as a fundraiser to benefit Mobile-based nonprofit The CORE Project, Inc., which provides comprehensive care for individuals with special needs. Brimer will start his journey in Miami on May 1 with an anticipated arrival at The CORE Project on Hitt Road on May 13. Corporate sponsorships and opportunities to make a pledge per mile are available, and all proceeds go to the nonprofit, which will be celebrating its first year of operation next month. A launch party will kick off the ride on April 29 at 6 p.m. at O’Daly’s Irish Pub in downtown Mobile. As Brimer makes the final leg of his journey into the Mobile area, members of The CORE Project community, including children and adults with special needs, will join in, riding their own bikes or motorized vehicles.
