Friends and Family,
Hi everyone! I am reaching out to you all in the hopes of raising money for Marine League Charities and Toys for Tots. The Flag2GC (Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon) mountain bike charity ride has been going for over 20 years, and I am thankful to have participated during the last few years. This year, however, I am one of the organizers, and will be concentrating my efforts on raising funds for the ride, and planning/organizing the event with a terrific staff of people. I appreciate any support that you all can offer for this event, as it continues to grow thru the years.
Thanks again!
Russell
2023 Flagstaff to Grand Canyon Charity Ride
On Saturday, August 5th, 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 over $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
