Since 1993, Riding To The Top's riders, staff and volunteers have participated in Ride-A-Thons, raising more than $115,000 for RTT’s programs and services for people with disabilities.

But because of the COVID-19 pandemic, all of RTT’s live events were cancelled in 2020 and so far in 2021, only a few small live events have been held. This year RTT’s June Ride-A-thon has been replaced with a virtual event called the Rally for RTT.

This event will run throughout the entire month of June, with each participant setting a goal for an activity of their own choice (riding, biking, wheeling, hiking, walking, swimming, even volunteering). The Modern Woodmen of America organization will be matching the first $2,500 received in donations.

Prizes for participants include one for the Top Fundraiser and Top “Friend-raiser.”  Raise $1,000 or more and receive a $500 credit toward RTT lessons and RTT swag. Raise $500 or more and receive a RTT swag T-shirt, tote bag and key chain. Raise $250 or more and receive a RTT tote bag and key chain. All participants will be entered into a drawing for special prizes.

To help Riding To The Top reach its goal of raising $7,500 please go to www.ridingtothetop.org/events.
