Women-focused mountain biking nonprofit The Cycle Effect hosted their annual matching gift fundraiser at the end of June at Larkspur restaurant in Vail. According to a news release, the in-person event, along with a digital campaign, has currently raised over $330,000. The funds help nearly 315 young women in Eagle, Summit, Mesa and Routt counties.
The event featured stories from graduating athletes as well as a speech from a former Cycle Effect athlete who is now on the board of directors. The presentation inspired an anonymous donor to give an additional $50,000 toward the original $125,000 matching gift challenge.
The organization is currently raising funds to unlock the full $50,000 gift. People can visit TheCycleEffect.org to donate.
