Volunteer: Set Up Fenner Ride Packet Pick Up

On Saturday October 25th, 2025, Big Brothers Big Sisters hosts a charitable ride dedicated to the memory of Fenner McConnell and Matt Wantz. Both men were avid cyclists and former members of the West Florida Wheelmen.  Dr. Fenner McConnell was killed in 1998 by a hit and run driver as he rode his bicycle across the Bob Sikes Bridge. Matt was tragically killed while working in a local bike shop. The event is dedicated to both men, to carry on their memories. Big Brothers Big Sisters needs help to assemble the packets that will go out on October 24th as part of packet pickup that starts at 10am.  This will be a fast paced assembly line.  In the past there have been around 300 participants in the Fenner Ride so we will be assembling approximately 300 packets.
