Last Chance to Sign Up and Donate to Ride for Water with Haiti Outreach
Sunday, Sept 16, 8 am to 2 pm
AFMSP's cycling group
Club Vélo is joining
Haiti Outreach for a benefit ride on Sunday,
September 16 at 8 am.
This run is a wonderful opportunity to gather your friends, get some fresh air and raise funds to support bringing clean water and infrastructure to people in rural Haiti. Haiti Outreach works with local communities to empower them to build their own sustainable water resources.
Join us this Sunday at the beautiful Boom Island Park where we'll take off for a 16 or 32 mile ride using the Minneapolis park and byway system!
Unable to ride yourself? You can still sponsor Haiti Outreach and Club Vélo by donating! We're over halfway to our goal so help us get there before this weekend. Donate here.
Also, we are looking for volunteers to help us with registrations at the ride. Do you want to be part of a great event? Contact Marie
