All proceeds from Winter Flight go to Rowan Helping Ministries!
Please consider making an additional donation or make a donation if you are unable to race! The operation of Rowan Helping Ministries relies on the generous financial support of churches, individuals, businesses, groups, and foundations. Contributions are tax deductible.
Mission Statement: The mission of Rowan Helping Ministries is to serve, through cooperative community action, our neighbors in Rowan County who are in crisis, by providing essential life needs and educating and empowering them to break the cycle of crisis.
The 2025 Winter Flight race earned $16,000 for these families and individuals, and it is our goal to exceed that amount this year!!
