2021 Imagination Ride

Imagination Ride 2021

 

IMAGINATION RIDE 2021

The Virtual IMAGINATION RIDE will raise funds for the Imagination Library book gifting program which mails free books to registered children from birth to age five in Stephenson, Jo Daviess & Carroll Counties. We currently have 2,490 children registered in the Imagination Library, and our numbers continue to grow! 

Just as there is no limit to a child's imagination, there is also no limit to how far we can grow, and we need YOU!

Ride your way!
Participants can choose the riding level that best suits them and safely ride at their convenience. Choose one of our suggested routes below, or create one of your own & ride anytime September 4, 2021 through October 3, 2021

What does it cost?
Registration is donation based - you choose what you would like to pledge towards the United Way of Northwest Illinois' Dolly Parton Imagination Library!
