In
Memory of Scott Bleifer
On the morning of Saturday, September
10, 2005, Scott Bleifer and Stanislav Ionov were cycling westbound
on the Pacific Coast Highway.
The placement of K-Rails on the
white line separating the roadway from the shoulder for a construction
project forced the two cyclists off the shoulder and into the
roadway where they were struck and killed by a catering truck
3/4 mile west of Malibu Canyon Road.
More than 400 local riders gathered
for a 40 mile ride organized
by La Grange last October to honor the memories of these two fallen
riders.
The Union Bank of California,
where Scott worked as a Vice President, donated $25,000 to La
Grange to establish an educational scholarship program in honor
of Scott Bleifer.
La Grange is attempting to increase
this amount to at $50,000 so that annual scholarship awards can
me made indefinitely. We will give out the interest we hope to
earn. La Grange has raised an additional $3,500 from proceeds
from the Cedars-Sinai Grand Prix raffle as well as from donations
from generous club members and others.
Karen Bleifer (Scotts sister)
has expressed her wish that contributions be made to the Scott
Bleifer Scholarship fund.

in 1969 and fields one of the top amateur racing teams in the United States.
Past members include a Tour de France stage winner, an Olympic gold medalist,
and numerous U.S. National and California state champions. La Grange is

La
Grange promotes a doping-free competitive environment. Elite racers sign
the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's 'Athlete’s Pledge for Clean Sport

pocket expenses.
Along
with the Club's dedication to bicycle racing, the club welcomes new and
inexperienced riders with a passion for cycling. La Grange is very active
in the cycling and fitness communities. Our continuing public policy work
with state and local government has led to major improvements in safety
for all users of California roads. In addition, the Club has partnered
with the Association of Blind Athletes and Meals on Wheels and sponsors
an annual scholarship with the help of the Union Bank of California. La
Grange enjoys the financial support of several corporations committed
to promoting healthy and active living including Kahala Corporation.
