Thank you for donating to my ride. All proceeds will go to Cape Cod Young Professionals (CCYP), an organization that I have found to be extremely important for local businesses and the future of Cape Cod. CCYP brings together businesses from all over Cape Cod and beyond. Whether the business is just starting out or has been in operation for many years, CCYP brings everyone together to network, share business goals, success, and dreams of how to shape Cape Cod's future. CCYP has become a big advocate regarding solutions to fighting our current housing crisis. With home prices and rentals continueing to rise, everyday commodity prices continueing to rise, and the struggle for local businesses to pay living wages, year-round living on Cape Cod has become increasingly difficult. CCYP strives to keep young people living on this side of the bridge.
