November 10, 2014 – Portland, Ore. – This November, get ready for the bicycle event of the season. The Bicycle Ball is a fundraiser for the nonprofit, Community Cycling Center. Celebrating 20 years of broadening access to bicycles, the Cycling Center is hosting this fundraiser to support the next generation of bike riders in Portland. The theme of this party is inspired by the 1920s décor of The Secret Society, with Dystopia Vodka prohibition-era cocktails, photo booth, and vintage-style live music by the Swingtown Vipers.
“We want to end our 20th anniversary year with a celebration of what’s on the horizon in Portland,” says Mychal Tetteh, CEO of the Community Cycling Center. “With our community’s support, we will shape the future of bicycling and active transportation in the Portland-Metro Region.”
