This past summer’s third-ever Ride to Remember bicycle ride, with 215 riders, generated approximately $4,272 for the Bluffton Pedestrian and Bike Pathway project, according to Richard Ramseyer.
With that total, the three-year event has generated almost $8,000 to the pathway project.
Richard Ramseyer of the Bluffton Lions Foundation, sponsor of the event, said that the enthusiasm from riders and the community is growing and that next year’s ride, should be even larger.
Justin Kauffman, a Bluffton sophomore biology major from Smithville, and recipient of a 2017 Summer Discovery Grant, gained vocational experience in the field of dentistry this summer by volunteering at a free community clinic.
Kauffman has been interested in dentistry since the eighth grade.
“For my grant, I job shadowed and assisted the dentists at the Viola Startzman Clinic,” said Kauffman. “I mainly focused on learning and grasping basic dentistry concepts as well as helping with tasks such as sterilizing the rooms and equipment.”
