Veterans First Program

We’re writing on behalf of the Veterans First Program at Las Positas College and the Cycling 4 Veterans (C4V) volunteer group organizers. We’re seeking donations for the C4V cycling event which will be starting and ending at Las Positas College in Livermore, CA on Saturday October 17, 2015. The C4V event will include competitive and recreational riders, and it is also a family event with refreshments and entertainment at the campus. C4V has great potential and our goal is to make it a key cycling event in the tri-valley area, along with it being an important fund raiser for Veteran and active military organizations.

The goal of C4V is to raise funds that will directly go to support a group of Veteran and active military organizations. Funds will be directed into various services and programs such as the Las Positas College Veterans First Program, Sentinels of Freedom, Valley Veterans Foundation, Blue Star Moms – Danville Chapter, and Pleasanton Military Families (PMF).
