MARK YOUR CALENDAR & SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER FOR OUR 2021 RIDE RUN WALK:

A Family FUNdraiser Event | Saturday, Sep. 25

Greetings! September 25th will be here tomorrow (well not really), but we would hate for you to miss this awesome yearly event. Our annual Outreach for Hope Ride Run Walk will take place on the morning of September 25th. 

Bring your family. Bring your friends. Bring your friend's family.

Join us for a FUN day as the Family of God celebrating the gift of being together in Fellowship.

Also, we have exciting news! For this year's event, we will now have four sites!

  • Washington Park in Milwaukee offers a walk only (40th and Vliet Streets)
  • Cory Municipal Park in Dousman offers ride options only, along the Glacial Drumlin Trail (Waukesha County)
  • Grace Lutheran Church in Grafton offers a walk, and ride options, along the Interurban Trail (Ozaukee County)
  • Petrifying Springs Park in Kenosha offers a walk, and ride options (Racine / Kenosha Counties)

To make this event possible, we need the support of many enthusiastic volunteers. Please click here for more information about volunteer opportunities, as well as a sign-up form.

We're looking forward to a wonderful time together. We hope you are too!
