Dayton Tour de Gem
//www.facebook.com/daytontourdegem

Last year marked the first year for a big fundraising event called the Tour de Gem - where cyclists ride for any one of more than 40 participating charities.

Gerry Chadwick, co-chair of Tour de Gem and President of Sunbelt Business advisers, spoke with WYSO Weekend host Jerry Kenney about the power people have in combining their marketing and athletic abilities.

In this interview for WYSO Weekend, Chadwick also offers up some high praise for the participants who have gotten this year's event off to a great start, and puts out the call for more volunteers who will be needed to make the event successful.

Tour de Gem is Saturday, September 1.  Learn more at: www.tourdegem.org
