BOTO’s Big Ride
Raising Awareness for Adolescent Mental Health …
and Funds for the CCBS Fire Keepers Scholarship Fund!
PLEASE NOTE: There is an established application process with Choose Mental Health to access scholarship funds. Donations from this page are to CHOOSE MENTAL HEALTH and they will be earmarked specifically to support families at Cherokee Creek Boys School.
From September 23rd to 27th 2024, a team of cyclists representing Cherokee Creek Boys School (CCBS) biked 350-miles from Pittsburgh PA to Washington DC to:
- Raise awareness for adolescent mental health,
- Raise funds for our CCBS Fire Keepers Scholarship Fund, and …
- Challenge themselves and have fun!
Our Executive Director, David LePere, led the team … and our CCBS mascot, BOTO the Bear (Be Open To Outcome), helped by plotting the route and he kept us updated as the team hit the trail.
AND … you can still help make a difference in the lives of boys and their families!
YOU CAN HELP … by donating to support BOTO’s Big Ride!
CCBS is a member of Choose Mental Health, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting adolescent mental health with a specific focus on providing access to residential care, which is seldom covered by insurance.
Being a member of Choose Mental Health allows us to provide our Fire Keepers Scholarship Fund to help students get the care that they need.
Some EXTRA Good News!
It’s not too late to help! You can still donate …
AND … the amount that you donate will have twice the impact!
A generous CCBS family has offered a MATCHING GIFT of up to $200,000 … DOUBLING your contribution!
