OUR 2020 CHARITIES

REAL WISHES FOUNDATION  is a local charity that focuses on helping those in the community in need.  They help Habitat for Humanity Playhouse, Relay for Life, Halloween Fall Festival, West End Clean Up, Senior Angel Tree, and Coats for Kids.  They have helped over a thousand people and families in our community through the years.  The assistance is given in various forms such as volunteers helping clean up a home or yard or paying for utility bills, roofs, plumbing, medical costs, and vehicle repairs.  These vital services are designed to help people get back on their feet in a time of need. 

BENSON SHOP WITH A COP provides opportunities for youth to experience positive interactions with members of law enforcement while Christmas shopping for themselves and family members in a safe and secure environment.  Its mission is to help underprivileged children come together with local Law Enforcement in an inclusive, non-threatening environment.  This in turn encourages open and honest communication with Law Enforcement Officers, removes any fear the youths may have when interacting with officers, and helps educate them about the role officers play in our community.  

The children selected to participate in the program go through an extensive referral and screening process.  This includes referrals form school officials, church leaders, and individual officers.  Applications are accepted from parents/guardians and other family and friends.  

VELO VETS SIERRA VISTA supports the needs of U.S. Military Veterans in the Sierra Vista area. Velo Vets are cyclists, volunteers, and supporters who come together to enrich the lives of Military Veterans by sharing the physical and mental benefits of cycling, having fun, and building a stronger support network.
Disabled riders use recumbent trikes, hand-cycles, tandems, and bikes.  All cycling equipment is custom engineered to leverage their strengths to help them rise above extraordinary circumstances, improve mobility, and see a brighter future with more support and camaraderie.
