We mean it.  But, why not honor our pledges during September, one of the most beautiful weather months in the Sierra-Nevada region which is also one of the most scenic areas in the United States!

   To participate in Pony Express Ride 2007 – The Bracelin 1000, one has to make two commitments. A rider commits to becoming a member of the Pony Express Community by registering and lodging on site at the Lake Frances Resort. Additionally, each Pony Express Rider is required to raise and submit in advance a minimum of $1000.  Proceeds from the 2007 event will go to two beneficiaries.

    Lake Frances Resort is owned and operated by Environmental Alternatives, a 501(c)3 charity that exists to provide foster care services for children all over Northern California.  All proceeds from Lake Frances’ operations go 100% to Environmental Alternatives. Lake Frances is working hard with WMF, Inc. to provide a lodging and meal plan program that is extremely affordable knowing that Pony Express Riders take on most or all of their own expenses to participate.   As a result of their work and efforts on the Riders’ behalf, 25% of the 2007 proceeds will go to Environmental Alternatives to support their foster care services. Whereas 75% of the proceeds will go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.
