Ride for the Children

On April 26th, Nana’s Children participated in the 2009 Ride for Children, organized by The Real Gift Foundation, a foundation dedicated to helping homeless children in Maricopa County. The non-competitive event began at Horizon High School in Scottsdale, and riders selected from distances of 10, 25, and 65 miles. Over 400 riders from around the valley participated in the ride, raising over $20,000 for the charity. Proceeds from the race went to support programs dedicated to helping the 13,000 homeless children attending school in Maricopa County. The Nana’s team was composed of 6 riders, two riders for each of the three distances. The team also raised over $300 in donations for the event. Special thanks to Ana Sutton for sponsoring each of the riders as well as Bill Koeing, Paul Beljan, Kim Walters, Emily Leaman, Matt Harmon, and Cait Blanton for participating in the race.
