Welcome To The 2009 Ride For Semper Fi
As the Chairman for the Ride for Semper Fi I would like to welcome you and thank you for visiting our website. We are very excited to once again ride this year in support of our friends and partners at the Injured Marine Semper Fi fund. The IMSFF , which was established in 2004, is a 501C3 organization that has provide more than 13500 grants totaling over 29 million dollars to our nations wounded heroes and families.
Last year, the Ride for Semper Fi had a team of 22 riders that raised more than 72 thousand dollars for the IMSFF. This year we have 30 riders on our team (even a PGA Tour golf pro!) and will be attempting to beat the 2008 number. We will be departing from Scottsdale Arizona on October 14th and ending our journey 430 miles later at the Balboa Navy Medical Center San Diego where we will pass all of our donations on to the IMSFF. The NMCSD is a hospital rich in history and tradition. The hospital currently has more than 6000 military and civilian professionals who care for our injured heroes and their families who have sacrificed so much for our nation.
If you supported us last year we want to again thank you for your generous contributions. Your donations to the Ride for Semper Fi and the IMSFF have impacted the lives of our young heroes in ways that you can’t imagine. If you are visiting us for the first time or considering supporting our cause please understand that any donation in any amount is greatly appreciated. Please be assured that your contributions, large or small, will have a life-long impact on the Marines and Sailors who receive your help.
