The Cochise County Sheriff's Office said its annual charity ride will be Nov. 1, starting at the Nissan dealership near the American Southwest Credit Union in Sierra Vista, with proceeds to benefit local nonprofits including the Bisbee Community Coaster Race and the Champions for Youth Foundation.

Sheriff Mark Daniels said organizers expect several hundred participants and that the event raises money for local programs such as Shop With a Cop, Search and Rescue and other county‑partnered charities. "All of the funds raised through our community go in to help them," Daniels said, adding that the ride traditionally draws more than 500 participants.

Representatives of the Bisbee Community Coaster Race described the long local history of their July 4 soapbox derby and said the group has relied on donations and volunteers to keep the event safe. "The coaster race has been around Bisbee for over a hundred years," said Robert Donahue, racetrack coordinator, who said the race requires months of preparation and trial runs for participants.

Susan, identified in the broadcast as treasurer and co‑chair of the Champions for Youth Foundation's capital campaign, said the foundation recently completed a 56,000‑square‑foot arena and event center at Quail Park in Wilcox and that the sheriff's charity ride will provide a $10,000 donation toward amenities such as bleachers, restrooms and a commercial kitchen.

Other community events and fundraisers mentioned on the program included the Sierra Vista Police Department's Bearcat Pull for Special Olympics (contact: Community Service Officer Trish Harmon) and the Empire Ranch Foundation's Cowboy Festival in Sonoita on Nov. 1. The sheriff's office encouraged listeners to buy tickets online at the county sheriff page and to donate or volunteer for beneficiary organizations.

Ending: Organizers said tickets and raffle information are available through the Cochise County sheriff's website; the sheriff's office said it will provide more details and donor acknowledgments in the weeks before the ride.
