Hello Friends and Family and Neighbors!
As you may or may not know, I have been doing the Sunrise Rotary Bike Ride now for over 10 years. (disclaimer: I am the Organizer/ Dishwasher/Coffee Maker/SAG support/Emerg Contact/Bed Finder/BikeySitter... PIC..... During that time we have given hundreds of thousands of dollars to local charities. LAST year I contacted you to support our beneficiary, with a story about my niece who was artfully living with “Stage 4 Cancer” and who lived in Corralitos with her two teenage children.
Unfortunately, she lost her battle with cancer this January, at the very young age of 50, even whilst she energetically attended Hot Yoga in Aptos that very morning. I now engage with her daughter on a regular basis, to make sure she finishes High School and gets accepted to college!
This year's ride proceeds are dedicated to addressing the widespread trauma experienced by our community's youth as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Santa Cruz Sunrise Rotary Club is partnering with Monarch Services, Rising Worldwide and DigitalNEST in collaboration with the Santa Cruz County Office of Education to mobilize an effort to help our kids though this difficult time.

With an all-volunteer crew 100% of the proceeds go to the charities, and it’s all tax deductible as the Santa Cruz Sunrise Rotary Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit.
