Fishkill, NY, – Panera Bread’s Fishkill cafe donated breakfast to those involved in the fourth annual WPDH/March of Dimes “Bikers For Babies” Rally held on Sunday, June 27th. “The breakfast spread was terrific, especially the muffin tops, and the food was both delicious and plentiful,” states Gary Cee, Program Director for WPDH Radio Station in Poughkeepsie, NY.
Nearly 350 bikers attended the event, which was lead by AJ Pero, Celebrity Grand Marshal and Co-Chairman of the March of Dimes’ Bikers For Babies Rallies. The ride began at Dutchess Stadium in Fishkill and ended at Haverstraw State Park. “We are so pleased to have helped the March of Dimes raise approximately $30,000.00 through this rally,” states Cee. All proceeds benefit the March of Dimes, which uses donated monies to provide babies with healthy starts in life by preventing birth defects, premature births, and infant mortality.
