Together We Can Help Roll over Hunger this Holiday Season!
Shawnee Trail Cycling Club is running a Food Drive to help fill the pantries of Frisco Family Services and the Little Elm Food Bank, serving the surrounding communities. We will be collecting donations beginning with our Cranksgiving ride on November 24th, and continuing through to our December 3rd Holiday Party. You can bring your items to any ride and give them to Joel, Amy, or Doug.
At our annual Holiday Party, we always raffle off some nice items for our members in attendance (must be present to win). We give one ticket to each attendee. As a bonus, for every item you donate at the Holiday Party you will earn additional raffle tickets. The number of items required to receive an additional ticket is indicated by the number of asterisks (Mixed Fruit ***, requires 3 cans for an additional ticket).
