The most fun you can have in 24 hours. Period.
In 2017 a group of community members created the 24-Hour ‘Boat Cruise fundraising event. The idea came from a desire to affect real change on a local level in a world that was starting to feel more divided than ever. We chose Integrated Community, CIIC, as the beneficiary.
CIIC’S focus on access to Early Childhood Education, quality healthcare and public safety fit with the event committee’s goals to open our arms to members of our community who are being negatively impacted by current policies, systemic inequities and language barriers on a local and national level.
This year marks our Eighth Boat Cruise. In seven short years, we have raised over (330K) towards CIIC's Early Childhood Education programming, often doubling funds raised from the prior years' event. We are making real change possible by supporting this amazing non profit as they work to meet the needs of our entire community.
Our goal is simple: Raise as much money as we can, Have fun on bikes, and Increase awareness in our town for CIIC and the work they are doing. Thank you for joining us!
