2021 Ferst Annual Lewis Grizzard & Catfish Bike Ride

Please consider joining Marie and me for the 2021 Coweta Ferst Lewis Grizzard & Catfish Bike Ride in Moreland, Georgia.  This event will take place on October 3, 2021 at 8:00am starting at the Old Morland Mill in Moreland, GA.  There are 12 mile, 25 mile and 66 mile options to choose from. You can register in advance at: Lewis Grizzard & Catfish Bike Ride.

The Coweta Ferst Foundation is dedicated to providing age-appropriate books for every child under the age of five in Coweta County.  This mission is important because:

1. Sixty-one percent of low-income families do not have a single piece of age-appropriate reading material in their home;
2. One-third of Georgia’s children start school unprepared to learn; and,
3. Seventy-five percent of Georgia’s students who are poor readers in the third grade will remain poor readers in high school.

The more words a child hears, the larger the child’s vocabulary and the larger the child’s vocabulary, the more likely the child will be a proficient reader.  However, in order to read with a child, books must be in the home. Each registration will enable Coweta Ferst to send an age-appropriate book to a child each month for a year.

If you cannot ride, you can still support this very important and worthy cause by becoming a Lewis Grizzard & Catfish Bike Ride Sponsor. We hope to see you there!
