Thank you for considering a donation for this event!
We will ride 33 miles from Orleans to Provincetown, MA to raise funds for the Youth Athletic Foundation whose mission is to provide funding for athletic equipment and sports participation fees to students in need on Cape Cod.
Like public television or independent radio, every donation, no matter how much, makes a difference!
Thank you for your kind support! - Jeff
