of senior friendly exercise equipment. Participate in one of three ways: as a rider, donate to a rider, or donate the week
of the event. Riders register for 15 minute time slots. A minimum donation of $10 is required per time slot at the time of
registration. Riders can be self sponsored but are encouraged to get as many pledges as possible. Pick up a sponsor form at
the front desk and assist us raising the $30,000 dollars needed to become a healthier senior center! Special thanks to Edgemere
