The festive event enabled Rideworks' board members and staff, corporate sponsors, parents and distinguished guests to publicly recognize each award-winning child under the lights of the Shubert, for portraying their artistic views of ridesharing, preserving the Earth and clean air. Truly one the best investments we can make for the future is to educate children about how to protect the environment and conserve valuable resources. We believe that the contest and calendar help to foster greater creativity and understanding of important environmental issues among the children. In turn, their clear, hopeful visions can inspire us throughout the year. Rideworks' 1997 Calendar was made possible through the ongoing support of Bayer Corporation, Children's Hospital at Yale-New Haven, New Haven Savings Bank, Saint Raphael Healthcare System, Southern Connecticut Gas, United Illuminating, Yale University and an anonymous benefactor.
