Washington, DC (PRWEB ) July 1, 2008 -– On Tuesday, June 24, more than 70 top chefs and culinary professionals from the Washington, D.C. area and the Mid-Atlantic region traded in their toques for motorcycle helmets for the fifth annual Share Our Strength’s Chefs on Bikes presented by Fortessa, Inc. This 100-mile-plus ride raised more than $40,000 for Share Our Strength, an organization working to make sure no kid in America grows up hungry.
“With a backdrop of a tough economy – increasing gas, food and utility prices – Chefs on Bikes reminds us that it only takes a few motivated people with a great idea to make a difference in this world,” said Debbie Shore, co-founder of Share Our Strength. “What began five years ago as a handful a chefs enjoying motorcycle rides to the Virginia countryside is now a favorite fundraising event, helping us to end childhood hunger in America.”
