PALO ALTO, Calif. , Aug. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Now in its fourth year, #PlumeStrong is proud to announce two significant fundraising events: the #PlumeStrong Cycling Challenge (#PSCC24) and a Gala Philanthropic Dinner.
Plume and its employees, with the help of generous corporate sponsors and individuals, are seeking to raise €1,000,000 to continue #PlumeStrong's mission to provide education and opportunity to communities in need. Recently, #PlumeStrong and Street Child committed to continue their partnership. This year, the focus shifts to Sierra Leone , a country where access to secondary education in rural areas remains a critical need.
The funds raised during the #PSCC24 will benefit Street Child's work in Sierra Leone . The collaboration will focus on developing 15 rural secondary schools, providing quality education to over 1,500 children annually, teacher training, and the establishment of a community agriculture project to help sustain the school. #PSCC24 will be held from September 2-6, 2024 .
Riders will begin in Zurich, Switzerland and finish in Venice, Italy , covering a distance of 824 km and traversing famous mountain passes through the Alps and the Dolomites. Returning #PlumeStrong Ambassador, three-time Tour de France champion, and recent winner of the Giro d'Italia, Tadej Pogačar, will join the ride for the first leg. Additional #PlumeStrong Ambassadors joining the ride include cyclists Urška Žigart, Scott Ogden and Marko Baloh .
