Approximately 90% of the working individuals you come across at SPI BikeFest are VOLUNTEERS. And every one of them is here on behalf of a non-profit charity to which SPI BikeFest donates a portion of the proceeds from the rally. Some of these charities have seen funding from the government or from private donations drastically reduced and are finding their organizations competing for dwindling resources. Some of the monies raised through the various fees charged to participate at SPI BikeFest are earmarked to assist these charities continue their operations. On behalf of the many volunteer organizations, we would like to thank you for helping the hundreds of families who have come to rely on them for basic social services.
