Santa Fe Fat Tire Society
On Thursday, July 14th, the Santa Fe Fat Tire Society hosted a wildfire relief event at the Jean Cocteau Theater in the Santa Fe Railyard. They presented a series of short films and conversation to help raise funds for the New Mexico Cyclist for Wildfire Relief, benefiting the Santa Fe Community Foundation's Community Resiliency Fund.
"At our core the Santa Fe Fat Tire Society is a community organization -- albeit one with a mountain biking mission. However, when there are opportunities to help others in our community we can all come together and do our part. The catastrophic fires affect all of us, but some have lost everything. It is the least we can do to show solidarity and raise some funds to help support those who need it most." -- Kyle Klain
