Brave and determined members of Team OHEL trekked out early Sunday morning, May 6, 2018, to complete the grueling TD Five Boro Bike Tour, all in support of the thousands of individuals and families that OHEL serves every day through both the new OHEL Jaffa Family Campus in Flatbush and the Kleinman Family OHEL Regional Family Center in Far Rockaway.
A team of 20 dedicated team members raised money for OHEL’s myriad programs and services that serve the most vulnerable in our community, including a scholarship fund to help send children with disabilities to Camp Kaylie at OHEL, the trailblazing inclusive summer camp in Wurtsboro, New York.
For 40 miles, Team OHEL riders pushed themselves to their physical limits, motivated by their collective mission to raise money and awareness for foster children, victims of domestic violence and people with disabilities.
Our amazing riders led the way with some outstanding individual finishes—both across the finish line and in their generosity!
“My wife and I feel very strongly about supporting OHEL, as they do so much for the community at large. We are proud to be part of Team OHEL for the Five Boro Bike Tour and are overwhelmed with the kindness and generous donations made by our friends and family to this worthy cause,” said Jonathan Field.
Team OHEL elevates the lives of thousands every year through their annual fundraising sports initiatives, and you too can be transformative!
Join hundreds of participants, young and senior and of all abilities, as they challenge themselves for a great cause at the fourth annual OHEL Xtreme Challenge Classic on Sunday, May 27, at Camp Kaylie.
