Cycle for STEM Raises $6,000 for Student Scholarships

In April, 14 riders braved early-season Santa Anna winds in San Diego to cycle upward of 50 miles along the California coastline to raise money for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) scholarships. Chapter President Trevor Bender said, "Our third annual AFCEA San Diego Chapter Cycle for STEM ride was our largest one ever and contributed $6,000 toward student scholarships." Title sponsor Leidos provided rider jerseys. Other sponsors included Intel, the Sutherland family, Solute, SENTEK, Innovative Solutions, Moment Bicycles and Big Media Prints. The chapter's goal is to grow the event so that by its 10th year, there are 100 riders and $25,000 in scholarship funds.
