Summary

About this event:

In its efforts to build economic unity in the South Shore community, the Black United Fund of Illinois Inc., (BUFI), will be hosting its 5th Annual BUFI Bikes the Shore for Ujamaa on Sunday, October 1st from 9am – 1pm.

The goal of BUFI Bikes the Shore for Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) eight-mile, two-hour community bicycle ride is to symbolize economic unity within the South Shore community and Chicagoland areas. This is not simply a demonstration of unity; it is designed to inspire the community, while embracing the human spirit with empowerment and resources.

This ride also serves as the formal kick off for BUFI's workplace giving campaign, inspiring our communities to donate to BUFI via their payroll deductions. State, County, and City employees should use code #950-0010.

BUFI Bikes the Shore for Ujamaa is for community members, advocates, activists, and bicycle enthusiasts. All are welcome to ride!

Among the activities will be a warm-up for cyclists, free refreshments, and information about BUFI’s workplace giving campaign. The nine-mile cooperative economics journey will conclude with a community call to action in the courtyard adjacent to BUFI’s headquarters, 1809 East 71st Street, Chicago IL 60649


Bike the Shore for Ujamaa is planned in partnership with the Black United Fund of Illinois, Equiticity and Divvy.
