Act fast for Sierra Buttes 5 Bucks a Foot to win a Santa Cruz Hightower – This ends at midnight PST tonight, so last call! The Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship: 5 Bucks a Foot Fundraiser supports connected communities and gives you a chance to win a killer customized Santa Cruz Hightower (in Large). The 5 bucks a foot fundraiser ends tonight at the stroke of midnight on the west coast, so we’re hoping you get one more shot to enter. With events canceled early for public safety, these fundraisers are a HUGE source of income for the Stewardship.
Plus, with current bike shortages, it’s nearly impossible to get your hands on a new bike, especially a one-of-a-kind Hightower. 100% of your donations will directly benefit the SBTS.
The non-profit Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship is an amazing origination that has helped out many riders & locals, and every five dollars donated to ‘5 Bucks a Foot’ will directly contribute to developing the Trails Master Plan for Connected Communities. The Trails Master Plan (TMP) creates a vision for a recreation-focused lifestyle through community investment, shared stewardship, economic opportunity, and essential new local jobs benefiting economically disadvantaged communities in California’s Plumas, Sierra, Butte, and Lassen Counties.
