Safe Haven fundraisers feature fresh fall air, exercising

MILFORD — Save Haven of Pike County says it has the perfect way to spend a fall Saturday morning — "in the beautiful outdoors with music, exercise, and lots of color!"
Two such autumn mornings are in store. In fact — a bike tour in September and a colorfest in October. Both will raise money for Safe Haven, whose mission is to "eradicate domestic violence, sexual assault and other serious crimes through prevention, empowerment and the promotion of social justice."

Peddle for a Purpose

The bike tour, “Pedal for a Purpose,” offers a scenic ride along the Delaware River on Sunday, Sept. 18, starting out from Milford Beach. Choose your ride: 18, 28, 42 or 60 miles.
Free pre- and post ride refreshments will be available.
Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. All rides start at 9 a.m. Register online at bikereg.com/safehavenbiketour.
