Bo Jackson To Begin Charity Bike Ride in Auburn
Bo Jackson is beginning his third annual charity bike ride from a city he knows well: Auburn.
Organizers say this year’s “Bo Bikes Bama” trek will begin on the Auburn University campus on April 19, the same day as the Tigers’ A-Day spring football game.
Participants can ride for either 22 or 62 miles, and money from registration fees and other fundraising goes to support the Governor’s Emergency Relief Fund.
Â
The Heisman Trophy winner from Auburn started the bicycle rides after the deadly tornado outbreak of April 27, 2011.
Â
The rides raised more than $700,000 in the first two years to help rebuild homes and provide community storm shelters.
