We are excited to share the results of the Spirit Riders 10th Annual Back to School Ride held in August. Each year the Spirit Riders select a school to be the recipient of their annual bike run, and this year Union Chapel was blessed to be chosen for this honor. After the profits from the bike run, auction, and donations were tallied, the Spirit Riders presented Union Chapel Elementary School with a check for $15, 910! The success of this event would have never been possible without the hard work and support of the Union Chapel faculty and staff, the Union Chapel community, the bikers who participated, and the Spirit Riders organization. We are eager to use these funds for the betterment of the students at Union Chapel Elementary School. Thank you to everyone who had a part in this event's success. Union Chapel Tigers . . . ROARing Our Way to Success! First Photo: Members of the Spirit Riders present the check for $15,910.
