Description
Sowing Opportunities, Inc. seeks to cultivate self-sustainability, education, and wellness in rural Guatemala.
100% of the proceeds from this fundraiser goes to provide potable water to the remote village of Chajmaic.
Help us reach our goal of $5,000 for the new year! New possibilities for the people of Guatemala!
We plan to gather at Roosevelt Park, behind Salemwood School in Malden at 12:00 noon, and ride for ~4.2 miles along The Northern Strand Bike Trail in Malden, to Park L, near Madeline English School in Everett, and return to Roosevelt Park, with stop-offs to rest, or for those who choose not to do the entire route.
- Every rider pays $10 to ride; under 13 FREE & Over 65 - voluntary donation if you choose
- Riders under 10 need a responsible adult with them
- Options for those in the disabled community to participate
- Every rider gets “sponsored” by people who donate to them, which gets given to charity to ride
- Roosevelt Park to Park L for turn around and back (~4.2 miles round trip)
- Magician!
