I’m excited to share that this year I’ll be part of the Support Crew for a group of dedicated cyclists riding 500 miles to Washington, D.C., in just four days in May. This ride honors law enforcement officers and first responders who have fallen in the line of duty, and I’m truly honored to be involved.
Your support will help me reach my fundraising goal, with all proceeds going directly to Charlotte's Finest Legacy Foundation. This amazing organization provides college scholarships to local youth aspiring to pursue careers in law enforcement.
I wasn’t able to attend Police Week last year, but I had the privilege of participating the two years before that. It was an incredibly meaningful experience, and I know this year will be just as special.
As part of the Support Crew, my job will be to keep the riders safe and supported throughout the journey. I’ll follow them in vehicles, assist if they need a break, help transport them and their gear, provide first aid if necessary, and encourage them along the way. I’ll be there to help in whatever way I can to make their journey a success.
This experience means so much to me, and I’m grateful for your support. Thank you for helping me make a difference! Have a great day and stay safe!
Warmly,
Traci
Bike 2 DC - Ride to Honor
On Friday, May 9, 2025, we will meet at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Headquarters. We will hold an opening ceremony to acknowledge those N.C. law enforcement officers tragically killed in 2024. Then we will roll out with a full police escort to begin our meaningful journey to DC, fully supported all along the way.
Bike 2 DC - Ride To Honor is a fundraising event benefitting Charlotte's Finest Legacy Foundation and its mission. Registered riders accept two challenges. The first is to ride 500 miles in just four days. But more importantly, the second is to raise money for this amazing organization. All riders agree to a minimum fundraising amount based on the category selected during registration. Riders can reach their goal by donating to their own fundraising effort or sharing their custom PledgeReg fundraising page with friends, family, and co-workers. PledgeReg makes it easy and fun to share your own personal message about why you are raising money, and even easier to collect donations.
Since 2007, Law Enforcement officers from Charlotte and the surrounding area have gathered each May to ride bicycles 500 miles over four days from Charlotte to Washington, DC, as a part of the annual “Bike 2 DC - Ride to Honor” event. Our journey is not easy, but each mile is a tribute to those law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
The Charlotte’s Finest Legacy Foundation was established to provide the youth of Charlotte, NC, and Mecklenburg County with the freedom to continue their education past high school. The Charlotte’s Finest Legacy Foundation is the result of a collaborative effort designed to honor the memory of Charlotte’s Fallen Heroes by furthering their Legacy through the pursuit of higher education.
