13 years, over one million dollars raised, over 5000 participants, and we still continue to “Ride for One, Ride for All”

To whom it may concern:

Cancer continues to touch the lives of those we love too often and it is even more heartbreaking when that life is one of an innocent child.  A student within our school was diagnosed with cancer which sparked the inaugural Ride of the Mustang bike-a-thon: an event where teams work in shifts to ride stationary bikes for 3 days. In its first year, this event saw 42 teams with 400 participants raise $51,000 for “Kids Helping Kids”, an initiative at the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation. Since then, the ride has expanded to host 65 teams with over 5000 participants; cumulatively, we have raised in excess of one million dollars. In 2014, we were awarded “The Spirit of Generosity Award for Philanthropic Group” at the National Philanthropy Day Luncheon. We continue to be humbled and motivated by our overwhelming support and the drive to make a difference within our school and community.

Students and staff are now busy organizing our 14th annual Ride of the Mustang event to be held March 26 to March 28, 2024. We are currently seeking community partners to join our cause and to help us help children and their families dealing with cancer. A partnership summary has been attached to this letter outlining this year’s sponsorship levels and subsequent benefits for your review.  Sponsorship dollars and gifts in kind are an integral part in offsetting operational costs and augmenting funds generated via the participants in the ride. As a partner, you are not only supporting “Kids Helping Kids” but also acting as role models demonstrating the importance of giving back to our community and building community spirit.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.  A student committee member will be following up to discuss this partnership opportunity with you shortly. We look forward to this meeting to further discuss this opportunity and hope to partner with you in the future.  If you have any immediate questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Kelsey Ahluwalia at 403-948-5935  or kahluwalia@rockyview.ab.ca.

Sincerely,
Ride of the Mustang Committee
