BOULDER- Nearly $30,000 has been raised to cover the cost of more than 50 events taking place during Boulder's Walk and Bike Month in June.

In addition, sponsors are offering in-kind contributions such as advertising, gear and services to support the monthlong celebration of Boulder's bicycle and pedestrian lifestyle.

Sponsor funding pays for event permits, insurance, promotion and coordination of the Walk & Bike Month events scheduled throughout the month.

Community Cycles, a nonprofit that educates and advocates for biking as alternative transportation, will organize a majority of this year's events.

Walk & Bike Month 2013 includes a diverse list of events and activities for kids, seniors and families. For a complete list of events or to register for Bike to Work Day, go to www.walkandbikemonth.org.

It began as a one-day event in 1977 and has grown to a month-long celebration now in its 37th year. Organizers expect more than 5,000 to turn out for Bike to Work Day held on June 26.
