Ride Two Remember cinch sack donations

Icon viewers:

The Bluffton Ride to Remember committee would like to thank all the Bluffton businesses that provided promotional items for the cinch sacks each rider received.

The sacks were full of pens, pencils, sticky note pads, water, popcorn, chap sticks, eye glass cleaning cloths, a keychain bottle opener, highlighters, bookmarks, tea and loads of coupons with a value of more than $65 off purchases at businesses here in Bluffton. One rider said it was the best cinch sack he had ever received.

The camp is open to 5- to 12-year-olds. It's held Mondays through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Students can sign-up for one week or all weeks.
