FT. LAUDERDALE – Good grades and better behavior have rewards for 100 students in Broward County. They were chosen to receive new bicycles from The 100 Black Men of Greater Fort Lauderdale (100BMOGFL). To recognize students who are making progress, the 100BMOGFL worked with 16 Broward County schools. They provided new bicycles just in time for the holiday season.
“For the third consecutive year the 100BMOGFL will award students in Broward County with new bicycles for their scholastic achievements. The 100 Annual Bike Drive has become a signature event for our organization and we are very proud of the 100 students that will be receiving new bicycles. Often times our youth feel their hard work is only recognized in the classroom, the 100 Annual Bike drive demonstrates an appreciation for academic excellence from the community. The goal is for the 100BMOGFL to continue to award 100 bikes annually to promote scholastic improvement,” said Dennis Wright, President of 100BMOGFL.
