"At Feldman Shepherd, our corporate culture embraces participation in nonprofit fundraising events and the overall support of organizations like the American Cancer Society in its battle to eliminate cancer."
The Bike-a-thon is the largest single-day American Cancer Society fundraiser in Pennsylvania. Each year, the 61-mile-long race begins at the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia and concludes with a celebratory picnic in Buena, N.J. This year, more than 4,500 cancer survivors, family and friends took part in the event with the goal of raising $1.5 million for cancer research. To date, approximately $1.3 million has been raised to help save lives and celebrate more birthdays.

The Feldman Shepherd staff also raises money and gift donations each year for families that are much less fortunate.
