RIDE T-Shirts
Good news! If you've earned your t-shirt, we'll mail it to your home!
We'll send a groovy RIDE shirt to those who raise their minimums ($150 for adults, $75 for those 17 and under). Fundraise early and you'll be able to wear your shirt proudly for weeks before event day. It's a great conversation started as you recruit teammates.
