“Our Riders Rally is a great opportunity to bring motorcycle enthusiasts together for a day of adventure while making a meaningful difference in the lives of kids,” said Jenny Dyer, Development Director of Deer Run Camps & Retreats. “Each dollar given will help make it possible for a child in need to experience a life-changing week of Summer Camp at Deer Run.”
Each year the Deer Run Riders Rally raises essential funds for the ministry’s MISSION 42:1 Scholarship Fund that provides assistance to campers and families who have financial, physical, or emotional needs.
