The Evergreens Hosts Successful 6th Annual “Cycle of Life” Fundraiser To Benefit The YMCA of Burlington & Camden Counties’ Community Support Campaign

The Evergreens in Moorestown hosted its 6th annual Cycle of Life Motorcycle Poker Run. More than 40 riders and passengers participated in this year’s 100+ mile ride through South Jersey, starting at The Evergreens and ending at the Flying W Airport Resort in Medford with lunch and live music by Commodore Fish Dish. This year’s ride was to help raise money and awareness for the YMCA of Burlington & Camden Counties’ Community Support Campaign

“With the outstanding generosity of our 2013 Cycle of Life sponsors and participants, we are happy to donate $16,420 to the Y’s Community Support Campaign,” said Doug Halvorsen, president and CEO of The Evergreens and avid motorcycle rider and enthusiast. “We are thrilled to be able to help all of the adults, teens and children that utilize the Y’s many services each day through this donation to the campaign.”
