Welcome to my fundraising page. Thank you for supporting my efforts to make a difference for kids enrolled in the summer mountain bike camps provided by the Boys and Girls Club of Bend.
Bend Fat Tire Tour Project Kids MTB Summer Camp
Can you imagine not having mountain biking in your life? This is the reality for many local Bend kids who don’t own bikes – nor know singletrack bliss exists in Bend.
There’s a solution: Boys & Girls Club of Bend’s summer mountain bike program, taking more than 650 local kids mountain biking over the past 8 years. The program was started by the now defunct Bend’s Big Fat Tour, purchasing a fleet mountain bikes, helmets and a flatbed trailer with a Bend-made bike rack. Funds lasted through the 2017 summer, so with funds finally depleted – your help is needed to ensure the mountain bike camp takes place the 2018 summer. Starting the summer of 2019, funds from the Bend Fat Tire Tour will keep the camp going. We hope you’ll donate to help the next generation enjoy riding bikes in the woods.

Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. They are a place where great futures are started each and every day. At our two locations in Bend, we offer life-changing programs to youth between the ages of 5 to 18 years old. Our programs focus on academic success, healthy lifestyles, character development and citizenship involvement in our community in Central Oregon.
Thank you for your support.
