The Power of Music

This 60-mile ride is more than a physical goal for me — it represents the journey many young people take when they are given access to music, mentorship, and a supportive community. Through our nonprofit programs, we see students gain confidence, develop discipline, and build a strong sense of cultural pride through mariachi and performing arts. Some students come from families facing financial hardship, and without support, they might never have the opportunity to participate.

I’m riding to help remove those financial barriers so more students can experience belonging, purpose, and growth. Music programs do more than teach performance skills; they help youth build friendships, stay connected to school, and develop emotional resilience that supports their overall well-being.

How Funds Raised Will Be Used

Donations from this ride will directly support: • Student scholarships for families needing financial assistance • Music instruction and program costs • Instruments and maintenance • Performance needs • After-school program support and youth development activities

Every contribution helps ensure that no student is turned away due to cost.
