TenLinks CEO to Ride Bike Across America to Help Needy Students

Cross-country effort hopes to raise $25,000 to create college technology scholarship

NOVATO, California, February 3, 2004 – TenLinks, Inc., the number one CAD, CAM and CAE online media company, announced today its CEO will ride a bicycle across the United States to raise funds and establish a college scholarship that will help needy students attain a technology education.

Roopinder Tara, TenLinks CEO, will ride a distance of 3,400 miles from Irvine, California to Boston, Massachusetts. He will start April 25 and hopes to finish May 27, riding a total of 31 days and averaging 110 miles a day. The goal is to raise $25,000. Companies and individuals are encouraged to sponsor the ride. Scholarship(s) will be awarded in the beginning of the 2004-2005 school year.

"It will be a long, hard ride," says Tara, "but knowing that I'll be helping to give deserving people an opportunity to advance themselves--even when the odds are stacked against them--that will give me strength. It's an opportunity to change lives for the better."

Donations can be made in the form of a pledge. Donors can pledge an amount per mile or a lump sum.

Amount/Mile Total
$1 $3,400
$0.50 $1,700
$0.10 $340

 

 

Amounts are examples only. You can pledge any amount.

Companies that pledge $5,000 will have the opportunity to share in the name of the scholarship. For example, if XYZ, Inc. pledges $2/mile, it could result in the creation of a TenLinks/XYZ scholarship.
