We would like to apologize to Harpeth Bikes for leaving them off of the event sponsor list at the event. Not only did they support Dirt, Guts, and Donuts II, but they also are the providers of our new RfR home!
Ride For Reading's mission is to promote literacy and healthy living through the distribution of books via bicycle to children from low-income neighborhoods. In low-income neighborhoods, the ratio of books per child is 1 age-appropriate book for every 300 children. *Reading is an integral part of education, and without books it is hard to build a strong academic base. Our children need materials to read at home and it is our goal to provide the means.
