Yakima Salvation Army’s 1st Annual Family Bike Ride Is Coming!
Ride a bike, raise money, have fun, and create memories!
What more could you ask for?
That’s the idea behind The Salvation Army’s Family Bike Ride!
Growing up in Naches, I can’t think of a more beautiful place to ride a bike. I did just that for over a decade (until I got my driver’s license, of course).
Even then, I would ride up and down 2nd Street, up Naches Ave to the High School, and back down the hill of Penny Ave. So many great memories!
The Yakima Salvation Army is getting people to do just that: create great memories.
Their 1st Annual Red Kettle Kick-off Family Bike Ride starts in Naches and rides along the beautifully scenic Naches Greenway.
“We want this family bike ride to be about fun, laughter, and creating memories,” says Kerry Steele, a member of the Yakima Salvation Army Advisory Board.
