Six Pillars Century: 2014

Character Counts Mid-Shore, Inc. is sponsoring the 6th annual Six Pillars Century cycling fundraiser on Saturday, May 3, 2014 at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge near Cambridge, MD. The cycling event will include four ride choices, including a 11-mile family ride, a 37-mile fun and fitness ride, a 56-mile Ironman Eagleman 70.3 Course, and a 100-mile Century Course.

The event will support Character Counts Mid-Shore, Inc., an agency which is best known for providing the Winners Walk Tall Program to over 8,000 students in the public schools in Talbot, Caroline and Dorchester counties free of charge. Over 300 trained volunteers, known as Character Coaches, visit classrooms each week to deliver lessons based on the Six Pillars of Character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship. For more than 16 years, character lessons have had a positive impact on the behavior of youth in the schools on the Mid Shore.
