Ridin' for Research: Emails to Participants

Hi Everyone…

Thank you for participating in the Ridin’ for Research for the MACC Fund on Sunday, February 26. It’s hard to believe it’s been over two weeks since we were exercising our hearts out to make a difference … and wow, what a difference 148 people can make!

As of today, we have raised over $70,000 for the MACC Fund, bringing our grand total to $1,045,000! Great job & Thank you!

As we wrap up this year’s event, R4R would like to extend a big thank you again to the Menomonee Falls School District for donating Ben Franklin Elementary, Barrett Moving & Storage for moving the bikes to and from the event, Brent Emery for his bike donation & onsite support of tweaking bikes as needed, UWM-Women’s Basketball Team, Image Master Photography, Elite Sports Clubs for loaning all their bikes, as well as Tri-County Y for loaning their bikes too, Exciting Events for their assistance with sound, staging, lighting, as well as Leadership Menomonee Falls for their assistance with Presenters, Music, Raffle Prizes, Venue, and more. Additionally, we want to applaud (again) all the Presenters & Trainers for this event, as well as the MACC Fund crew. Their time, support, enthusiasm, and commitment are greatly appreciated! 

Congratulations to the top three (3) fundraisers (Pat Dunks from the Princeton Club New Berlin, Garry Kelley from Elite Sports Club Mequon, and Michelle Draghicchioo from Westwood); fundraising individual fitness groups (Princeton Club $11,596, Milwaukee Athletic Club $6205, and Westwood $3755); fundraising multi-location groups (Elite Sports Clubs $11,175, YMCAs of Metro Milw $10,179, and Gold's Gym $4967), and the most participants for a single location or group: Circus Bear Cycling Team (11), Gold’s Gym Downtown (9), and a tie going to Princeton Club & SY YMCA (8 each). A big applause has to go our to the 40 individuals who do not belong to a fitness club or group, but together raised $7,448. Awesome job everyone!

I believe that is all for this year ... we hope you had a great time, and to see you next year!  If you are interested in being a captain for your Health Club or Fitness Organization, please contact me as soon as possible.
