Pedaling For New Habitats

Benjamin  Galassi of Newtown, a 10-year-old Webelos Scout from Reed Intermediate School, cycled 10 miles through the steep hills of Brookfield on Saturday, September 17, to benefit Habitat for Humanity. He cycled with his dad, David. “I wanted to do something for people who need homes and don’t have enough money to buy them,” said Ben. More than $15,000 was raised by 47 participants and corporate sponsorship to help build or renovate houses for needy people in the Danbury area.
