WE DID IT!!!
We finished this year with our highest fundraising dollars yet, scratching the door of $700k!!!! Words cannot emphasize the impact each of you have had on bringing almost $7M to CCBD in our 19 Years. I know when Will told his mom to go out and make a difference, he would say three quarters of a million dollars is a difference! I know we did Mister Will proud this year, and through your perseverance and the love of your communities we rallied as a force. This has always been the difference with this team, HEART, it guides us. We love the ride, and we love the money, but we ask with our hearts, and love pours into our team. And so does the money!
With this in mind, we have to celebrate. We are hosting a little get-together, to mark this record breaking year. Please join us on October 9th in Cap Hill for a Fall Celebration. Details Here
This email could be a nonstop thank you list to everyone who has made this possible. Words do not cover the gratitude I feel to be a member of this community. A few mentions, last month Earth Angel Fest together with the Sprint to the Finish Match raised an additional $25,000 bringing their sponsorship well over $50,000 this year! It is so wonderful when our sponsors double down both writing a check and inspiring those around them to participate, donate, and fundraise with us. When we talk about partnership we also know how hard our independent partner teams work.
Thank you to Amy Goodner & Kick Cancer’s Ass ($24,769), Amy Hudson and Climb for Coop ($18,220), Steph Bockmann and Team Super Drake ($31,201), and our newest partner team Helaine Bader and Live Like Theo raising $11,483 in their very first year. We wish your road didn’t bring you to us, similarly we wish Theo lived. Typing this email the cursor blinks at me, waiting for what I am going to type next, I have no words. Except to say, we will not accept cancer taking our children. We will ride for their lives, we will fundraise to a cure, and we will be back for year 20 in the spring!
Thanks,
Amber & all of Wheels
