Celebrating our 90th season, this year’s proceeds will benefit QSAC (Quality Services for the Autism Community).

In May/June 2014, Justin Ahrens of Rule29, a strategic creative company in the Chicagoland,  will ride from the Atlantic Ocean to Lake Michigan (1,000  miles) in a two-week campaign, Wheels4Water.
