Surprising Publicity by Local Action Network

This is interesting. So, i was just googling, "bicycles against poverty" to see what comes up and i ran into a website publicizing one of our fund raisers that i did not know. I am suspecting that Molly- the organizer of the fund raiser contact this local news outlet. But i was really happy with what they did for us.

But if you dont want to waste you time, here is what they wrote

This Saturday evening come show your support for a student-run microfinance bicycle project to benefit Northern Uganda. Dine and enjoy entertainment by Earl Pickens and Faculty Lounge.

Bucknell students are hosting a benefit dinner at the downtown Lewisburg restaurant Brasserie Louis this Saturday, February 21 at 7:30pm. The group is Bicycles Against Poverty (BAP) and is a microfinance bike project for Northern Uganda. All of the proceeds will go towards the project.

More Information:
Bicycles Against Poverty (BAP) is a microfinance bike project in which bicycles are made available to community members in Northern Uganda. BAP is a project started by students at Bucknell. With the help of a few grants to start the project, students plan to travel to Uganda this summer to implement the initiative.

The dinner includes salad, entrée (choice of salmon, pot roast, chicken, and a veggie option) and a dessert all for $30. Entertainment will be provided at 9pm by Earl Pickens and Faculty Lounge, a band comprised of faculty members at Susquehanna University.

All checks can be made out to Bicycles Against Poverty.
