Team Zimbabwe is rolling into its third year in the Elephant Rock, and we’re gaining momentum fast. As other sources of revenue dwindle with the economy, this may be the brightest hope these kids have. Please help us continue to provide daily meals, clothing, school fees and medical help for nearly 1,000 children, many orphaned by AIDS.Join Team Zimbabwe today.

You can join Team Zimbabwe by riding, by helping a rider raise funds, by sponsoring a rider, or by becoming an official Team Zimbabwe Sponsor in the 25th Edition Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival, Sunday, June 3, 2012 in Castle Rock, Colorado.

To ride and raise funds, click here. Whether you are a 100-mile competitor or a family person who just wants to get the family out for an easy 7-mile spin together, you can make a difference in the lives of these children. If you register to ride with Team Zimbabwe, a portion of your registration fee, plus every dollar you raise will help the Zimbabwe Mission Partnership.

Last year, retired pastor Les Avery rode 62 miles and single-handedly raised a record $4,000 for the cause. That’s Les being hoisted by fellow Team Zimbabwe riders. He would be delighted if someone were to break his record this year.

When you register with Team Zimbabwe, your registration fee at Level 1 pays for your Elephant Rock entry fee, full event benefits, a Team Zimbabwe bag and includes a donation to the Zimbabwe Mission Partnership (ZMP). Registration at this level starts at $150.

When you register at Level 2, starting at $300, you get all of the above plus a specially designed, limited-edition Team Zimbabwe cycling jersey. And, at this level, a more substantial donation will be made to the ZMP.
