AMERICAN RIVER BIKE PATROL

FOR THE AMERICAN RIVER PARKWAY, SACRAMENTO CA

Giving Tuesday coming, Tuesday, November 28

Giving Tuesday Event

A BIG Thanks!  

 

Giving Tuesday, Tuesday, November 28, is now past. Thanks to the cycling and hiking public for supporting this national day of giving to nonprofit organizations like the ARBP.

 

Within a few days we’ll get a report out as to number of, and, total donations, once on-line giving finishes and mail donations arrive.

 

Thanks, from the ARBP Board!

 

By the way, one can still donate on-line, just go to: americanriverbikepatrol.org/help-the-patrol. To mail a check: American River Bike Patrol, P. O. Box 2773, Fair Oaks, CA 95628-9407. Thanks!

 

Each year our Patrol gives away hundreds of tubes and patch kits to trail users, bike helmets to kids and first aid supplies. We also implement safe riding and walking educational programs and provide regular hydration/info stations on the parkway. We recently started a Junior Bike Patrol program with Cordova High School, and 20 disadvantaged youth are learning cycling skills, team work, bike maintenance and first-aid skills; at completion of the program, each youth receives a new Trek bike and other equipment. Your support helps offset those costs and other incidentals for our volunteer organization.

 

Thanks, again, for your support of the American River Bike Patrol!
