You may choose to support us by donating your vehicle to The Greater Dayton Prolife Education Foundation. We will provide you with a written acknowledgement of the donation, including the information to claim the charitable contribution on your tax return.

2011 Ride for Life
This new annual event involves the whole family! Whether a novice or advanced cyclist, there are three goals for this event:
-
Increase the awareness of the Pro-life movement in our communities today in a healthy and proactive manner
-
Raise funds for the support of the Dayton Right To Life mission
-
Promote life, family and good health practices with in-kind support, activities and networking throughout our communities.
Our 2010 Ride For Life was a huge success with 89 riders and over 150 volunteers. Nearly $10,000 was realized with more donations and pledges still coming in. A festive time was had by all - riders and volunteers - at the Celebration of Life following the Ride. Pizza (LaRosa's), musicians (Rick Fannin and Richie Terbush) and Pete Luongo with his very inspiring thoughts, gave everyone the opportunity to truly enjoy themselves while promoting life, family and good health.
In addition, Bill and Melody from WFCJ on Saturday (also honorary riders) and Tommy Collins from WHIO on Sunday certainly pleased everyone as emcees, ensuring that over $6,000 in door prizes and raffles found new homes.
Rider evaluations, 47 in number out of the 89, indicated everyone (with the one exception of "maybe") will consider returning for our second annual Ride For Life.
Many sincere Thank Yous to all the riders, volunteers (including our youth from the six high schools), families and staff!

- In 2008, Yox recipient Rebecca Boggs wrote in her application, “College has been my dream since I was little because neither of my parents went to college. I would be making my parents proud and in getting a higher education, I could promise my son a life that wouldn’t be as hard.”

- Every dollar you donate to this important cause goes directly to the college of our scholarship winners.
