Have you ever taken a passion and mixed it a need to create an EPIC adventure?
That’s exactly what Tarra Gundrum is doing in just a few short weeks.

Tarra will be traveling by bicycle from West Bend, WI to Washington, D.C. raising funds for the Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial and Education Center.

Part of the Memorial’s mission is to educate future generations, they’ve developed lesson plans and visitor activities to help students understand and reflect on the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Now it’s time to raise additional funding to get this information into the hands of our educational partners & community organizations for continued learning!

Tarra is trying to raise enough money to help cover this cost along with creation of ‘bus scholarships’ so that our students can take much needed field trips, receiving a hands-on learning experience; one that they will NEVER FORGET!

“My contribution efforts will come by way of blood, sweat, and I'm sure, a few tears as I ride my bicycle from West Bend, WI, to Washington, D.C.”, said Gundrum.

Tarra trip , which departs on August 14th includes 1 Ferry, the crossing of 6 states, travelling of 950+ miles, with one train ride from D.C. back to Wisconsin where she will then bike with friends and supporters for the final leg of the trip from the Milwaukee County War Memorial to the Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial on September 3rd!

“I am asking for your support! You can help this mission by going to my website: ThePossibleProjectPodcast.com and click on the 9/11 Memorial Fundraiser”, said Gundrum. 

She is also looking for amazing individuals / organizations to take the “Per Mile Pledge”; email her at [email protected] for more information!

The Bend - The Wild Bunch
June 25th at 7pm
The master of the American western, Sam Peckinpah, directs a stellar cast in The Wild Bunch, a controversial film that breathed new life into the genre and broke ground in the realistic portrayal of screen violence. Receiving two Academy Award nominations, this bitter, brutal story of magnificent losers in a dying West remains one of the screen’s all-time classics. An explosive adventure drama about the last of the legendary lawless breed who lived to kill — and killed to live. The impeccable cast includes William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Edmond O’Brien. Warren Oates and Ben Johnson. Selected by the prestigious American Film Institute as one of the 100 greatest American Films of all time, The Wild Bunch was also inducted into the Library of Congress National Film Registry.
