Welcome to my fundraising page for Second Summer Cycle and Community Connections, Inc.
I am riding in September to raise money for Community Connections, Inc. This organization strives to provide life-enriching services that promote optimal independence for people with disabilities.
All proceeds raised through my fundraising page will directly benefit "Flower Angels." I've been a volunteer at Flower Angels since 2018. This wonderful association creates and distributes tea cup flower arrangements to nursing homes throughout Cape Cod. These little acts of kindness bring joy to Cape residents who can sometimes be lonely and in need of a pick-me-up. I've personally delivered many of these surprise bouquets and am often rewarded by grateful words and simple smiles.
Please contribute what you can to help the Flower Angels continue to provide this important service for our seniors.
Thank you in advance for your support! Dan
