Friends and Family,

I am finally doing it and I need your help!!  This ride, this event, it is near and dear to us.  Not only have we made friends over the last 10 years, we made memories, and they have provided many many toys for Northern Arizona kids. I've only bartended the event, I even bartended the event when I was barely in remission. So what is it this awesome event?  Its a 66 mile mountain bike ride that I have only dreamed about riding, now I finally get my chance. I'm in the best shape I've been in years.  My health is good and its now or never!!  They have done this for 25 years and we never know when it is going to be the last.  This is why I need your help!!  I need to fundraise for these kids and every little bit counts.  

I am riding my mountain bike atleast 30 miles (I've never ridden more than 10) through the tall pines and grasslands of Northern Arizona on August 6th, I'm hoping to raise at least $1500 for the Marine League Charities. No amount is too small: every $20 allows Toys for Tots to provide for one additional child.  You can give with any major credit card and it only takes 30 seconds. I need you guys!!  Any donation will help these kids and I know inflation sucks, but this donation will feel good, because you are making me work for it!!!  

Thank you for supporting me, If I raise my $500, who knows maybe you will all motivate me to ride the whole thing!!!!

On Saturday, August 6th, 200+ brave souls will ride their mountain bikes 65 miles along the Moqui Stagecoach trail that used to connect Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon. Why? Well, the Flag2GC charity ride has been raising money for the Marine League Charities (MLC) since 1998. Since then, we've raised almost $1 million - enabling Toys for Tots (T4T) to provide toys, books, and stocking stuffers to more than 10,000 children in Northern Arizona each year.  In addition to Toys for Tots, proceeds from this event allows MLC to fund the Flagstaff Youth Program, Wounded Marine Program, as well as a Scholarship Fund for Coconino Community College. 

The Marine League Charities is an Arizona not-for-profit charitable corporation organized for the purpose of supporting charities including those organized to assist children of Northern Arizona and those charities benefiting members of the U.S. Armed Forces. 

In accordance with our mission statement, Marine League Charities (MLC) supports and funds the following local charities:

· Flagstaff Community Toys for Tots 

· Flagstaff Youth Program

· Wounded Marine Program

· Marine Relief

· Coconino Community College Scholarship Fund
