About Holy City Treks Holy City Treks was founded in 2016 in memory of two College of Charleston students who were accidentally killed in traffic related incidents: Lyndsey Rant was killed when a motorist crashed a red light as she was crossing Septima Clark Parkway. Chris Bates was killed when he was riding his bike late one evening and went over a curb and lost control. As he landed on the pavement a car crushed his skull. He died later that evening at MUSC with his father at his side. ​ Denise Marie Fugo, CEO and CFO of Holy City Treks, teaches at the College of Charleston and had many students who knew these vibrant young students that had lost their lives in 2016. Shock of these incidents rattled the college community. As their professor, Denise suggested these students put grief to good work and together Holy City Treks was born. The original mission was to improve safe alternative transportation, and to educate the community about issues in the current transportation system. However, as Denise and these students walked and documented the streets of the Charleston peninsula, they began to encounter more and more homeless individuals. This group learned that improving the lives and safety of the Charleston community went far beyond just transportation, so the mission of Holy City Treks’ was expanded in 2018 to focus on addressing the homelessness crisis by energizing people and energizing assets. ​ “No one should ever be homeless. Ever.”

Their Stories Chris Bates’ Story Holy City Treks was born in the Fall of 2015 shortly after a tragedy that has become all too familiar here in Charleston. Christopher Bates was a 21 year old Senior Exercise Science major at the College of Charleston. He worked hard in school with the hopes of studying alternative medicine at a chiropractic school in Atlanta after graduation. Chris left a positive impact on everyone he came across due to his infectiously happy personality and his great outlook on life. Chris was there for everybody, whether that was his best friend or a complete stranger. In a world filled with people trying to bring you down, he was always bringing people up. Chris lived life true to his beliefs, as evident by his dedication to a strict vegan diet and an overall healthy lifestyle. Naturally, he used his bike as his main mode of transportation around Charleston. Chris Bates was struck and killed by a car while riding his bike home on Meeting Street on October 22nd, 2015. The aftermath of Chris’ passing sent shockwaves through Charleston all the way back to his hometown of Columbia. He was the finest person I’ve ever had the pleasure to call my friend and I speak for everyone when I say the lack of his amazing spirit and attitude has left a void in our lives. However, life always works in funny ways. After discussing Chris and his story with a professor at the College of Charleston, Denise Fugo, we knew there needed to be change and Holy City Treks was born just two months later. It’s amazing to think that the impact of Chris’ life will be able to stretch far beyond his time on earth. Chris was the inspiration to so many of us, so it’s only fitting that he be the inspiration behind an organization focused on taking care of others through safer streets.
