The Cause of the Beartooth Challenge
Ride the Rockies to Raise Funds Supporting Our Wounded American Heroes
The Beartooth Challenge offers an opportunity for you to join a cause greater than yourself, an opportunity to support the wounded Soldiers, Sailors and Marines that have given their all so we can live free. Our military is engaged all over the world today, supporting U.S. interests. Those injured physically and emotionally in these ongoing conflicts will bear the burden years after their return, and many for life. The physical and emotional injuries (Post Traumatic Stress) are conditions that require long term rehabilitation that goes well beyond the treatment available from the Department of Veterans Affairs and the military medical system. This is why non-profits are so crucial in their support role, to fill the shortfall in treatment our veterans face.
Beartooth Challenge does fundraising for Operation Second Chance – an incredibly lean operation with ratios (overhead expenses / dollars donated) that few, if any, other non-profits meet. The key to OSC’s effectiveness is driven by the selfless commitment of its leader, Cindy McGrew, the volunteerism she inspires amongst groups like Beartooth Challenge, and the generous donations from all of us who believe so deeply in the Cause.
