The Fitzsimmons family has been filling a 5 gallon mason jar with coins since we launched the Bend Endurance Academy. On June 30th, we will count the coins and the person with the best guess will win a pair of Ryder sunglasses, thanks to George Wescott and Ryders Eyewear.
To enter, submit your guess in the ‘comment’ section below.
The change in the jar will go toward the purchase of the Academy’s Cycling team van!
As you can see there is a little space in the jar left to fill- you can help us top it off by bringing in your spare change. Simply fill a plastic bag with any change you can find around your house and bring it by the office!
Thank you to the Fitzsimmons family for their generous and creative contribution to the Academy!
