Sheriff's Office says annual Charity Ride has returned roughly $50,000 a year to local nonprofits
Summary
Sergeant Davidson said the Charity Ride, established in 2012, has regularly returned about $50,000 annually and "hundreds of thousands" overall to local nonprofit organizations; organizers did not specify which nonprofits would receive funds this year.
Sergeant Davidson described the Charity Ride's fundraising record and origin, saying the event "was started in conjunction with the American Southwest Credit Union here in Sierra Vista" and that it "has given back $50,000 every year, hundreds of thousands of dollars to local organizations." The ride began in 2012 and has grown into an annual fundraiser hosted in recent years by Ed Morris Automotive Group's Nissan dealership.
Davidson did not name beneficiary organizations during the announcement nor provide a breakdown of how funds are distributed. He said the event supports "local nonprofit organizations" generally. The speaker also highlighted that the ride accommodates both on-road and off-road participants, a format that organizers say broadens participation but may require additional coordination for routes and safety.
For readers: the transcript did not specify which nonprofits benefit, how funds are allocated, or registration details; those items were not specified and would require follow-up with organizers.
