For the 20th consecutive and FINAL year Micah and I will be partcipating in the Courage Classic bike ride in support of Children's Hospital Colorado. Myself and our kids, Lilly and Bennet will be riding and Micah will be coordinating the amazing volunteers that donate their time and energy to make this event possible.
While the kids and I are logging the miles through Summit County and Micah is managing the volunteers, we are hoping that you will consider making a donation to this cause which is very close to our hearts. Over the past 19 years I have rode over 2000 miles and raised over $17,000 for Children's hospital. This year is our final lap, and I would like to eclipse $20,000 for my 20th year!
This year I will be riding on my nephew Kevin Messacar's team Docs-a-Cyclin' . He is an infectious disease doctor at Children's and his team is proud to support pediatric infectious disease research at Children's Hospital Colorado through the Courage Classic! Children's Hospital Colorado provides unrivaled specialty pediatric care and conducts groundbreaking infectious disease research. Please help us to support healthier futures for kids.
Our team intends to raise $50,000 and designate our fundraising to support the Endowed Fund for Infectious Disease where gifts will be invested in perpetuity. Distributions of the endowed fund’s investment income will support research efforts within pediatric infectious disease and epidemiology at Children’s Hospital Colorado. If we do not reach that $50,000 threshold, our fundraising will support unrestricted funding for Children's Colorado's greatest needs, and gifts will not be endowed.
We appreciate the support of our sponsors: Haworth, Merchant's Office Furniture, Greenwood Dental, and JLL. Please reach out to kevin.messacar@childrenscolorado.org if you have a company interested in supporting our team through sponsorship opportunities.
Thanks for your support!
Eric and Micah
