QUEST is “gearing” up to support the Ride for Missing Children (RFMC) on Friday, June 9th. This is a very exciting event! Nearly 100 riders will pedal 100 miles, two-by-two, with police escort from the Monroe County Sheriff and other departments, passing through many communities along the way. There is also a 50 mile option available.
The RFMC is an awareness and fundraising event for the Rochester office of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, NY (NCMEC/NY). Riders commit to meet fundraising goals, to train, and to ride. The goal is to honor and bring awareness to the plight of missing children and to help support the NCMEC/NY prevention education efforts which serves schools, including our own, in the Greater Rochester area.
One hundred miles is a long way to go and the riders are going to need encouragement. That’s why we are proud to be selected to cheer on the riders. Students and staff will make their way outside to greet the riders as they arrive at our school. For QUEST, they will simply drive through our bus loop mid-day.
For the students, this is a high energy event. They will be led by NCMEC/NY staff and volunteers in cheering on the riders as they arrive and depart. In between there will be music that will reinforce safety messages. Much thanks to the entire school community for supporting this worthy cause.
