12th Annual Kelly Brush Ride powered by VBT Bicycling and Walking Vacations hits $500,000!

 

We are still blown away. With 810 riders raising $514,499, we had 100 more riders and raised almost $100,000 more than last year. The proceeds will be used immediately to help purchase adaptive sports equipment for people with spinal cord injuries and advocate for and improve safety equipment for alpine ski race programs.
