Hello! Welcome to my fundraising page, glad you clicked the link!
I'm riding in the Tour de Keuka on August 6, 2022, to benefit United Way of the Southern Tier. A big part of this personal journey (other than training up to a 45 mile distance) is to fundraise donations for the United Way. I have set my goal at a meager $150 and I would appreciate any support you can provide!
Here is a link to the news page for the United Way of the Southern Tier, check out the work they are doing! (They had a diaper drive recently)
As an incentive to donate, I'll take some photos before/during/after the tour and post them to my Instagram/Facebook. If you donate more than 10% of the goal ($15) I'll give you a shoutout for being a signficant contributor!
Donating on this site can be a hassle, if you'd rather Venmo me @Zach-Barfield I'll put your donation up here.
Cheers,
Zach
P.S. If I've already reached my goal, please consider donating to the members of my team:

Tour de Keuka
Tour de Keuka is an annual charity bike ride around Keuka Lake in the beautiful Finger Lakes of New York State. This event benefits United Way of the Southern Tier.
Offering 3 different in-person courses and a virtual option, there’s an option for nearly every skill level!
United Way of the Southern Tier works with the community to solve complex problems in Chemung and Steuben counties in three key areas: Southern Tier Kids on Track; Southern Tier Senior Support Network, and Southern Tier Basic Needs Network. Through gifts from individual donors, local businesses and their employees, corporations, and foundations, United Way of the Southern Tier supports 67 programs throughout the two counties.
Additionally, United Way of the Southern Tier is the local sponsor of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a program that provides a free book by mail every month to each registered child, under 5 years old, in Chemung and Steuben counties — regardless of a family’s income.
More information about Southern Tier Kids on Track, Southern Tier Senior Support Network, Southern Tier Basic Needs Network, and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library can be found on our website.
