Get to the Front of the Parade!

Ever wonder what all those patches and pins on every riders' vest represents? Well, Ride for Sight rewards you for aiming high and raising as much as you can for the Foundation Fighting Blindness. Although raising $50 gets you into the party, the more you raise, the more you will be rewarded. If you raise $1,000 or more, you will automatically achieve High Miler status and receive some pretty special treatment including a delicious dinner on Saturday night and a special High Miler Recognition Reception during Ride for Sight weekend AND you will get to ride at the front section of the motorcycle parade! Get on the road to being a High Miler by registering for online fundraising at www.rideforsight.com.
