Annual Donations

First Annual Fern 45- 2015

$1,200 and a New Laptop to Nevada Veterans Coaltion

We were expecting 40 close friends and family to participate in raising money for the Veteran's...and just by word of mouth, around 100 people showed up to support and ride trails in our Nevada Backyard. We were pleasantly surprised to see how many people were willing to donate their time and money to help support our Veterans. 

2nd Annual Fern 45- 2016

$7,500

Nevada Veterans Coalition

Our event has grown! We have now started something we cannot stop! We are officially going to make this an Annual event! The monies donated to Nevada Veteran's Coalition will be used to ensure there is a wreath placed on each grave-site at the Northern Nevada Veteran's Memorial Cemetery.

$10,000

 Nevada Veterans Coalition

WOW. We are incredibly grateful to be able to raise more and more money for our Veterans who have given their time and lives in order for us to be able to do this. Our donation is given to the NVC so they can continue to support the Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery and other Veteran's programs throughout the year.

We want to thank ALL of our donation and sponsors this year. The efforts of all of our donations/sponsors is what makes this possible.

We hope our appreciation for all who have donated their time and efforts does not go unnoticed. We are planning to be able to raise enough money next year to help Veteran's in need year-round. All of our donation this year will go to the NVC so they can continue to support our Nevada Veterans.

This year was, by far, our biggest year yet! We introduced new vendor booth options and that was a success (with new changes to 2022 coming!)
