THE STORY:
THE GUARDSMEN wrote -
The proceeds of the race go to benefit the Guardsmen, which is an all-volunteer organization, founded in 1947 that supports at-risk youth in the Bay Area. Every year, the Guardsmen sends more than 2,500 youth from disadvantaged backgrounds to outdoor programs. For many campership recipients, it is their first time in the wilderness. Post camp, these youth consistently show dramatic improvement in leadership, in communication skills, and in self-confidence.
