Making a difference for schools everywhere
C2CRide.org is a non-profit organization which was founded in light of the Platte Canyon High School shooting in Bailey, Colorado, on September 27, 2006. The base fund raising activity comes from organized motorcycle rides, raising money and awareness. These rides bring communities together to support victims of recent or past school shootings. Monies are allocated to schools’ security budgets and objectives. C2CRide.org also assists other organizations in other worthy causes related to school violence. By hosting motorcycle rides through the riding season and to host at least one event during the ‘off-riding’ season; a portion of each ride will go to a pre-determined school or school district for the purpose of a security program or memorial; proceeds being set aside in an account in case of a tragedy for immediate release to assure assistance; and a small portion of proceeds to be used by the Ogranization to raise awareness through marketing and publicity to keep the Organization alive.
