Ride-to-Remember XV -
September 12, 2026

Good morning R2R Family!!

We are writing to express our deepest gratitude to each of you for your incredible support during yesterday’s Annual Ride to Remember fundraiser at Vanished Valley Brewing Company.

Because of your hard work, dedication, and sacrifice of time, the event was an absolute success. I want to extend a special and huge thank you to Mike Rodrigues, the owner of Vanished Valley Brewing Company, for hosting us and providing such a wonderful venue for our community to gather.

We are also incredibly grateful to everyone who generously donated raffle prizes, adding so much excitement and energy to the day.

The most impactful part of the day was the deeply moving stories we heard. Hearing how so many of our guests and volunteers are directly related to, or profoundly impacted by, the loss of the fallen first responders we ride to honor each year was incredibly powerful. It serves as a beautiful reminder that when we host these events, we are providing so much more than just food and fun, we are providing a vital space for healing, remembrance, and hope.

Thanks to our collective efforts, together we raised over $7,000 for the Ride to Remember ($2,000 more than last year)! This achievement would not have been possible without your selfless contribution. Yesterday truly proved that we are more than just a group of individuals, we are a team and a family.

Thank you once again for your unwavering support, willingness to serve and for making a meaningful difference.

With a heart of gratitude,

Shannon Mumblo
