Anoka-Ramsey Community College will raffle off a brand new Trek Navigator bicycle to raise funds for the Bob Erickson Part-time Student Scholarship program.

The fund-raiser coincides with the fifth annual Scholarship Challenge bike tour of Erickson, chair of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) Foundation board.

The funds raised through the raffle will be applied to a $500 scholarship awarded to a part-time student on the Cambridge Campus. The Cambridge
Community College Foundation is sponsoring the raffle.

Erickson himself will select the winning raffle tickets when he arrives on the Cambridge Campus at 11 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 21, the first day of his bike tour.

For the past four years, Erickson has biked to each of the 53 campuses in the MnSCU system to bring awareness to the financial needs of part-time students. His trek takes him more than 2,000 miles in a one-month period. His goal is to raise money and build public support for making more financial aid available to Minnesotaís part-time college students, who often struggle to balance college with family and full-time work.

The bike, valued at $340, has been donated by Outdoor Edge of Cambridge.

Raffle tickets for the scholarship fund-raisers can be purchased for $1 at the Information Desk on the Cambridge Campus, or in the Foundation Office on the Coon Rapids Campus.

For information about the Foundationís fund-raising efforts, contact the Foundation Office at (763) 433-1820.
