Since it's inception, the people associated with the Highlander - the ride staff, riders, and volunteers - have recognized the importance of giving back to the community. Each year, the Highlander Staff and partners work diligently to provide a world class event while minimizing the costs - so that the majority of the rider fees and all supplementary donations can be returned to the community.
Our commitment to charity continues to be demonstrated through our partnership with several important organizations...the LANCE AMSTRONG FOUNDATION the South Bristol Historical Society, the Rochester XC Ski Foundation, Mercy Flight Central and other local health and fitness missions. Thanks to all the riders that generously gave of their own resources to these outstanding causes. |
