Blue Water Ramble proceeds (after operating expenses) go to cycling causes.

In 2020, we did not have a BWR due to the global pandemic, but we did have many participants convert their registrations into donations to our causes as they believed in them.

As of 2020, Clinton River Riders have given over $150,151 to cycling causes over the years.
