The event features a 180mi bike ride, known as Bikes for Tikes, from Cincinnati to Bowling Green. This year, 138 riders participated and raised a combined $134,000 for the Children’s Miracle Network of Toledo. After the bike ride, bikers are welcomed by the dancers at the main Dance Marathon event and reveal their total fundraising amount. All told, just under $370,000 was donated from cyclists and dancers, with Taylor hoping to set an example and start a tradition for future Bowling Green Pi Kapps.
