Hi! I'm excited to tell you why, for the first time, I decided to ride 200 miles for the Santa Cruz Sunrise Rotary Charity Bike Ride! The Rotary Club of Santa Cruz Sunrise has a long history of supporting community organizations dedicated to the health, well-being and growth of youth in our community. By doing this ride this year, I'm helping to support these important organizations:
• Skills of Life Café
• The Teen Kitchen Project
• The Boys and Girls Clubs of Santa Cruz County
• Santa Cruz Sunrise Rotary's High School Scholarship program (providing 2 and 4-year college scholarship) and
• Santa Cruz Sunrise Rotary's Charities and Grants program (providing grants to local youth athletic and arts organizations)
But wait, there's more! The primary goal this year is to raise funds to bring an inclusive and accessible playground to our community: Treasure Cove at Jade Street Park! Why is this project so important?
- Every Child Deserves to Play: One out of every ten children has a disability, and traditional playgrounds often don't accommodate their needs.
- Promoting Inclusion and Joy: Treasure Cove at Jade Street Park aims to foster compassion, acceptance, connectedness, and joy among children of all abilities.
- Designed for All: The playground features a marine and shoreline theme with specialized zones catering to various needs, including a Climb and Slide Zone, Swing and Sway Zone, Tot Zone, Sensory Zone, and Game Zone.
- Mid-County Accessibility: Located at Jade Street Park, this playground will be easily accessible to families from all parts of the county.
