We are excited to announce that the Fordham Road BID will be leading a team for the upcoming Relay for Life of the Bronx on June 2, 2012 to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
Our team name is Fordham Road BID Relay for LIFE
Relay For Life is a life-changing event that helps communities across the globe celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.
We encourage all of our members and partners to get involved by joining our team, making a donation, or starting a team in their own workplace or community.

On October 12th the Fordham Road BID held a "dining to donate" networking event at Applebees. Applebees donated 10% of the proceeds to the American Cancer Society in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The Fordham Road Business Improvement District (BID) is proud to announce the unveiling of “Silver”, a ten foot tall sculpture of found and recycled material. Created by Christian Marche, a Bronx based artist, “Silver” was constructed from refuse collected from New York City streets and transformed into a sculpture. “Silver” was installed in July 2011 on the South-side overpass at the intersection of East Fordham Road and Grand Concourse.
This work of art was made possible through a partnership with the NYC Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Urban Art Program along with Barbara Bullard from the Al Johnson Art Studio. Additional funding for “Silver” was made possible with public funds from the Bronx Council on the Arts through the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs Greater New York Arts Development Fund Regrants Program.
