Thru the Lens: Investors Bank Bike 4 Friendship

Marc Katz, senior VP of Investors Bank's CRE Lending Group (sixth from L-R) stands proud with cyclists team of seven on Coney Island Beach after the bikers recently completed a 3,000 mile, coast-to-coast ride in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn for children's charity. The team finished the Investors Bank Bike 4 Friendship trek, which started out in Los Angeles and lasted 38 days over mountains, deserts and prairies. Along the way, the bike riders raised tens of thousands of dollars for the Friendship Circle International that joins teenage volunteers with children who have special needs. Katz has a deep affection for this year's cyclists team because his son participated in last year's cross-country journey.
