We invite you to join us in honoring the life and legacy of a true champion of the D&L Trail. Bill Drumbore’s passion for cycling and deep love for this trail left a lasting mark on our community—and now, we’re proud to carry that spirit forward in a meaningful way.

Bill Drumbore was a passionate supporter and advocate of the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor. He rode every mile of the trail countless times, often alongside friends who shared in his love for the journey. His sudden passing in October 2025 was a shock to all who knew him and a profound loss to the cycling community.

In his honor, we are proud to establish the Bill Drumbore Memorial Fund—a way to keep Bill’s spirit alive on the bike path he cherished most. Gifts to the fund will support the ongoing care, improvement, and accessibility of the D&L Trail, ensuring that others can continue to experience the same joy and connection that meant so much to Bill.

If you feel inspired to celebrate his legacy, please join us at the Carbon County D&L TrailFest on Sunday, June 14, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Lehighton Outdoor Center. We will hold a brief announcement ceremony and share a story or two in remembrance of Bill.

Together, we can honor his memory by supporting the trail he loved and the community he helped grow. To make a donation to the Bill Drumbore Memorial Fund, please contact [email protected].
