World Ride is a 501(c)3 non profit that works to empower women globally through mountain biking. Earlier this year, they purchased 4 mountain bikes to establish a bike library for the women they work with in Guatemala to borrow and take on group rides. This program has been so successful that there is a need for more bikes! It is challenging to find bikes to purchase right now, and World Ride is currently accepting donations of mountain bikes in reasonable condition to send to Guatemala. Proceeds from this movie night will go toward shipping the bikes to Guatemala. Donations are tax deductible and if you have a bike you would like to donate, please email julie@world-ride.com
