Redmond Rotary is a nonprofit
service organization and a member of the Rotary International (http://www.rotary5030.org/). Each
year the Redmond club sponsors a fund raising bike ride, RED-SPOKE,
across Washington state from Redmond to Spokane.
The 300 mile ride takes bicyclists
through amazing scenery as they pass over the Cascade Mountains,
along river canyons and through rolling wheat fields. The ride
is recreational, meaning riders go at their own pace with a goal
of enjoying themselves and stopping as they wish to enjoy the beauty
of Washington state. Meals are provided at pre-designated sites
where bikers compare stories and build friendships.
Each Red-Spoke participant is
required to contribute or collect a minimum of $675 ($575
for team members or additional family members) in addition to their
registration and optional transportation fee. These donations are
tax deductible and are used by Redmond Rotary to support several
charitable activities including but not limited to:
- Hopelink
- Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center
