Support the Century Ride
Your generous contributions to the Lime Connect Century Ride presented by Bloomberg will directly support the following:
- Research: As a leader in the disability space, Lime Connect will spearhead research into critical points of impact for individuals with disabilities, with a focus on early career (K-12) and collegiate students. Our research will be used to identify essential next steps to ensure long-term success.
- High School Scholarships: Lime Connect is proud to offer our first-ever Pathways Scholarship to support a smooth transition into college for high-achieving high school students with disabilities. A portion of the proceeds from the Century Ride goes directly toward supporting this scholarship.
