Lenzen family: raises $11,062 in “Kids Bike for Henry” event, Colorado

I want to sincerely thank all of our amazing sponsors and volunteers for helping with our event in Colorado, a children’s bike/trike ride at the central park in our community The Farm at Arapahoe County. In attendance were approximately 50 kids who treated Henry like a rockstar. In addition to the ride in the park, we had a bouncy house (donated by Elizabeth Lowey of 8z Real Estate), a face painter (RE/MAX realtors Brandon Rossell and his wife, Svetlana), a bike decoration station, snacks (courtesy of our volunteers) and 36 dozen Dunkin’ Donuts (kind donation of Dunkin’ Donuts on Smokey Hill Rd.). Although the ride was very important to us as we raised awareness in our community, we were very focused on online fundraising prior to the event. In total, we raised $11,062 with the majority of this amount donated directly to the University of Pennsylvania’s Million Dollar Bike Ride to End Rare Disease, an amount the University of Pennsylvania doubled up to $50,000. Our event would not have been possible without the support of our volunteers, Brooke Norrell, my parents, Don and Vicki Norrell, Erika Kaye, Shawn Melnick, Annik Stahl, and Pamela Smith; our over 100 donors for their generous contributions; our friends who were able to come and participate in the ride; and our sponsors. We are truly grateful for a successful event, great turnout and fun day.​
