Dearest Friends and Family,
I'm going to try again, like I did back in 2019, to ride my mountain bike 65 miles through the tall pines and grasslands of Northern Arizona. This year it's on August 6th, and I'm hoping to raise at least $500 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.
Or .... motivate me as I train! For example, if you give just a nickel for every mile I ride while I'm training for the next 2 months, @ $0.05/mile you would donate 8 weeks x 65 miles/week = about $26.
Email me if you'd like to try my fun "motivational trainer" option, and you'll get weekly ride reports as I train! [email protected]
Thank you for supporting me and the Marine League Charities!
Teresa
2022 Flagstaff to Grand Canyon Charity Ride
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
