Co-Chairs Bradley Mitchell and Kelley Elliott welcomed more than 150 supporters at The Houstonian Hotel, Club and Spa on February 29 for a morning spin-a-thon to raise awareness and funds for The Periwinkle Foundation during the 25th Annual Periwinkle Cycle presented by White Oak Energy. The event raised a record breaking amount of $145,000 for The Periwinkle Foundation’s Camps, Arts and Survivor Programs that positively change the lives of children, young adults and families who are challenged by cancer and other life threatening illnesses and are cared for at Texas Children’s Hospital.
The room was decorated from floor to ceiling providing the perfect backdrop for a morning of friendly competition. DJ Maddy Rose provided the soundtrack as Houstonian fitness instructors motivated teams to pedal through four 30-minute heats. Guests also enjoyed activities including a silent auction, children’s games, music and a costume contest.
