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.
The 2023 #PlumeStrong Cycling Challenge (#PSCC23) raised over
€550,000 and was used to provide much-needed educational support
for children affected by the Turkey-Syria
earthquakes. Through the support of our riders, partners, and all
of our generous donors, #PlumeStrong is building a school in one of
the most impacted regions in the area.
Following the ride, #PlumeStrong will host its first-ever Gala
Philanthropic Dinner in California
on October 19, 2024. The Gala will
raise funds to support the work of our U.S.-based partner, the Ron
Brown Scholar Program, for the creation of the Ron Brown Venture
Lab (RBVL). It is an innovative initiative designed to provide the
essential resources that Ron Brown Scholars, Captains, and Alumni
need to launch and grow their entrepreneurial ventures. The event
will include both a silent and a live auction.
The Ron Brown Venture Lab will create a robust support network
to address the significant challenges Black founders often face in
securing the resources needed to bring their business ideas to
life. By providing social, human, and financial capital, RBVL
supports developing and scaling ventures within the community. The
initiative aims to ignite a new generation of socially-minded
innovators to drive transformative change in their communities and
beyond.
"What started as an internal program has grown beyond even our
own expectations. We started #PlumeStrong to assist our employees
and support one another at a time when people felt isolated and
alone. Now, we have extended #PlumeStrong's reach all over the
world and have created a program that actively provides resources
for education and community building. Our employees, business
partners, and sponsors have played a vital role in this endeavor,
and we are so grateful for their continued support. Our
extraordinary #PlumeAmbassadors, including cycling star Tadej
Pogačar, have helped to spread the word about the #PlumeStrong
Cycling Challenge and the aims of our global mission. #PlumeStrong
has gone from strength to strength, and I am so proud of this
team." - Fahri Diner, Founder and CEO, Plume.
