Join us for The Virtual Gasp 2020!

Once again, Latham Centers will be participating in The Gasp fundraising bike ride for the benefit of seven local charities. This year, the ride will take place virtually over seven days. Each rider will have one week to complete at least 55 miles. The event organizer, Barnstable Charitable Foundation, writes, “The Gasp  is a 55-mile ride so we challenge you to strive for a grand total of 55 miles throughout the week, but that never stopped anyone for shooting for 100 miles!!”

If you have considered participating in the past, this might just be your year! You can complete the ride in one day, or you can break it up over seven days. Love your stationary bike? Ride a portion or all of the 55 miles at home or at the gym. While we will all miss the “Boat & Bake” this year, we are grateful to the Barnstable Charitable Foundation for facilitating this creative 2020 virtual version of The Gasp.  The registration fee has been reduced to $25 and the minimum fundraising commitment is only $250 this year. This is a perfect year for seniors and/or children 10 and up to join Team Latham. This is also a great year for riders across the country to join our team – because the ride can take place anywhere! All riders will get an official “The Gasp” t-shirt and prizes will be awarded for the beneficiary charity whose team raises the most money.

To learn more – or to register to ride or support Team Latham – visit https://www.thegasp.org/. If you register to ride, be sure to choose Latham Centers as your beneficiary charity. All funds raised for Latham through The Gasp will support the Expanding Our Circle Campaign for the new Latham Community and Arts Center. Thanks in advance for your support!
