Excited to share why I decided to ride another 200 miles on my bike with the Santa Cruz Sunrise Rotary Charity Bike Ride...
The Rotary Club of Santa Cruz Sunrise has a long history of supporting youth organizations, and I have a long history of over 20 years of riding on this fabulous ride. This year, we will be biking 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.
Please read more about our beneficiary organizations and how, through our partnership, we will support our young community members.
As always, the ride will also support other community organizations dedicated to the health, well-being, and growth of youth in our community. Included this year are 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 scholarships), and the Sunrise Rotary Charities and Grants program (providing grants to local youth athletic and arts organizations).
I have committed to fundraising a minimum of $1000 with a personal goal of $1500! With an all-volunteer crew, 100% of the proceeds go to the charities, and it is all tax deductible as the Santa Cruz Sunrise Rotary Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit.
Donations by check should be made out to "Sunrise Rotary Foundation" and mailed to the following address:

Santa Cruz, CA 95061
Please include on the Memo Line: "Bike Ride Sponsorship for Hilary Bryant"
Thank you so much for considering sponsoring me and for all you do to make a difference in our community!
