We are in unprecedented times, and I am reaching out to you because Cascade Bicycle Club has some difficult decisions to make.
Our rides — Emerald City, STP, and RSVP — fuel our great programming. Through funds raised, we advocate for safe places for people to bike, teach children to ride a bike confidently, and engage the community through Free Group Rides.
As we look ahead to the year’s rides, education, and advocacy activities we had planned, we are quickly realizing that many if not all of these programs are grinding to a halt due to COVID-19. I will not sugarcoat it for you: without your support and ride registrations, we face mass cancellations of our events, our ability to staff our team, and threats to our organization’s very existence.
It is Cascade’s 50th anniversary this year, and we want to be around to build a better world through bicycling for the next 50 years. But to do that, we need you, our supporters, to dig deep at this moment.
If you have enjoyed riding with us, if you’ve learned from a class with us, and if you’ve benefited from a trail we fought to build, donate now to save Cascade. Every dollar you give matters, whatever the amount.
