THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING
OUR 2021 RIDE RUN WALK!

We're excited to share that we have not only met, but EXCEEDED our stretch goal of $150K... and raised a total of $155,500!! 100% of your gifts will go towards grants to central city congregations in the Greater Milwaukee Synod, ELCA.

Special thanks to the 501 riders, walkers, virtual participants, and volunteers who registered for this year’s event. We were especially moved by the numerous registrants who raised separate donations from their family and friends; by the support we received from donors in 15 different states; by the number of new faces we saw this year; and even by the fundraising page with an eye-catching photo of Nancy Walker and Bounty paper towels!

This year, we had approximately 700 donations to the RRW – from registrants; their family, friends, co-workers and fellow congregants; from congregations throughout the Greater Milwaukee Synod; from sponsors and other businesses; and from many others who simply showed an interest in supporting the work that our Ministry Partners make possible. A big THANK YOU to all who donated!

A HUGE THANK YOU!

Special thanks to the Siebert Foundation for providing dessert from Pete's Pops at our in-person RRW sites!

Our RRW Event Coordinator, Emily Wanezek, writes, "thank you so much for your time, energy, and enthusiasm for the 2021 Ride Run Walk! Whether you joined us in-person or virtually, made a donation, or volunteered at one of the sites, your participation was appreciated and crucial to the success of the event. It was genuinely heartwarming to witness the engagement and interest in working toward the common goal of raising funds for Outreach for Hope's Ministry Partners. In addition, your kind notes of support and well wishes along the way have made me so thankful to be a part of this wonderful organization and community of people."
