As I have mentioned, it is very hard to get families of disabled children to help with fundraising. Lets face it, they are busy with therapy, toileting or diapering their school age children, caring for children during and after surgeries… this list could go on forever.
So when Detroit Bike Week asked if helpCPkids.com could sponsor their beer tent for Detroit Bike Week events with proceeds going to help disabled children – needless to say we were thrilled and blessed for the support!
We had never done this type of event. Help Cerebral Palsy Kids Corporation learned the rules, was granted the license for the event – but we had no true experience in the work that would be involved or the amount of volunteers that would be needed. Thank you for the hard work from all our volunteers! We brought in $3,000 to help disabled children at Detroit Bike Week!
If you have not been to the event, it’s a must! The memorial wall and blessing of the bikes was amazing. The support for disabled children brought tears to our eyes. The live music, entertainment and fun – well you would will have to attend next year to experience this for yourself!
