Not Riding but Would Like to Donate?
I am asking for your support of our Hearts for Our Hospital Bicycle Challenge being held on November 9, 2024. Last year we had over 200 of our members sign up for the event, and over 50 of our members volunteered to help with our event by staffing our rest stops, setting up and decorating the expo room and helping with ride administration. But I know there are members who can’t attend the ride or volunteer but would like to support our cause by making a donation. We now have made it easy for you to do just that.
By clicking on the link below, you will be taken directly to the Hearts for Our Hospital Bicycle Challenge donation page on Race Roster. There, you will see boxes for your donation amount. After choosing the box of your choice, you will be guided through the remainder of the donation process.

So, if you are a Club snowbird, or a regular Club rider but not able to make the ride, or even a volunteer who will be working on the Challenge in some capacity (and we ♥️ you for doing so!), making your donation to this event is simpler than ever.
Thank you for your support!
Bill Parker
President, Sumter Landing Bicycle Club
