Can’t slow down: PEAKS effort pedals on

It won’t be easy for supporters of the PEAKS to Conga fundraiser to top last year’s record-setting event, but you can bet they are going to try when the annual event unfolds Saturday, June 22.
The fully-supported, 66-mile bike ride from Cody to Shell and the “Shellebration” that follows are the primary fundraisers for the People Everywhere Are Kind and Sharing (PEAKS) organization, which helps Big Horn Basin cancer patients with their non-medical expenses.
Last year’s event topped everyone’s expectations. There were 167 registered cyclists, up from 152 the previous year, and with the silent auction that generated a record $8,598 and the 50/50 raffle that contributed another $4,630, the organization’s generated about $45,000 in revenue. After expenses, the net came to $35,000.
