One Gorgeous Ride...One Fantastic Day:
Illinois Ride for the Environment 2008
| Thank you to these top Sponsors |
Ride for a reason in 2008!
Help us protect and improve Illinois'' air and water quality, food supply, rivers and other natural resources! Bring your friends and family for a fun-filled day of cycling and enjoying the outdoors on August 16th, 2008 at the Kendall County Fairgrounds, Yorkville. You can help Illinois' environment by recruiting more cyclists, fundraising or simply by making a donation.
Please take a moment to learn about our charities and consider fundraising on behalf of one of them. This will help them earn matching funds from a challenge grant. A little healthy competition among groups - all for a good cause.
Our ride benefits three main charities:
Prairie Rivers Network (www.prairierivers.org)
Illinois Environmental Council Education Fund (www.ilenviro.org)
Illinois Stewardship Alliance (www.illinoisstewardshipalliance.org)
Why these charities?
- Experience - Each group has more than 30 years of experience in Illinois
- Scope - Each group works throughout the state
- Effectiveness - Recognized as leaders in their fields. Efficiently run, professionally staffed organizations.
- Mission - Collectively their missions address the key environmental concerns in Illinois today including global warming, air and water quality, water supply, protecting the parks, rivers and other natural spaces we all enjoy, and developing policies for healthier food production and more economically sustainable food markets.
