Thank You All For Another Great Year!



Thank you again for making this year's Sweep another spectacular year! The San Francisco and Marin Food Banks appreciates all of the hard work you put in today that will really help out families in need all over the Bay Area. 

149 Racers brought in 10,615 pounds of food! Back in 2008, 150 racers brought in 5,226 lbs. So we doubled that figure today with nearly the same amount of people, so high fives all around! And we broke our previous overall total record to date of 7,990 lbs. of food, which was set back in 2011 with 201 racers. And we also raised a staggering $14,222 with our "Dollars to Dinners" fundraising category, which is also our biggest total to date! (Plus additional donations were made on Saturday, with more coming in!)



A big thanks goes out to our volunteers, as we couldn't have run our event without your valuable assistance (who also braved the cold for several hours): Rebecca Gerber (Speed Category Captain), Kearstin Dischinger, Heather Knape w/ Gus & Lily; Erika Padilla Morales, Lauren Peck, Sarah Powers, Danny Snyder, Yuko Chapman (Cargo Category Captain), Zach Bass, Shawn Hatfield, Ted Ketai, Sasha Magee, Adam Schwarz, Mike Spencer. 

Props to rideSFO / Bicycle Fabrications for hosting the after party again this year! And thanks to Bicycle Bahn Mi for providing delicious eats and 21st Amendment for serving up their fine beer. All cash proceeds from the beer will be donated to the SF & Marin Food Banks as well. 

And a HUGE thank you to my fellow co-organizers Kacey O'Kelly, Jonathan Koshi and Spencer Mike for coordinating another fantastic Sweep!
