The Champlain Ride of Hope

Chapter Fundraising 2026

Your donation is making a big difference in the lives of people with disabilities.

Thank you for supporting our fundraising page and helping our riders reach our fundraising goals with The Ability Experience!  Your generosity directly supports programs that empower people with disabilities, making a real difference in their lives. 

As the only national fraternity to establish and maintain its own non-profit organization, we pride ourselves in taking the lead when we see a need and have set the fraternal standard for hands-on, service-based leadership training. With your donation, we’re creating opportunities for inclusion, breaking down barriers, and building a stronger, more connected community!

Every donation brings us closer to our mission of celebrating the abilities of all individuals. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey with us. Your support means so much to our chapter!
