All Dough 4 Joe Family Members Share The Love!

Finally, the day arrived for the sponsored recipients of Dough 4 Joe 2014 Fun Run to reap some rewards. On August 30 & 31, the Dough 4 Joe family gathered together to deliver checks to the families sponsored this year. It was a wonderful weekend for a ride, and an overwhelming number of Dough 4 Joe family members gathered for the biggest heartfelt ride of the year.  With the sun at our backs and the wind in our faces, we rode to the first of our 8 recipients. The rumble of bikes echoed through the town, and out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, the families came out to see what was the matter.  Ok, sorry, but I just couldn’t resist a little “Night Before Christmas” reference there; after all, we were Dough 4 Joe Santa’s that day! It took us two days to ride to all of the recipients homes, but it was so heartwarming to hear from the families how blessed they feel to have a group of strangers become family! The two days were amazing and thanks to all the committee members, sponsors, vendors, donors, attendees, and local community members we were able to make a different in the lives of these 8 families! Thank you for all your support! Let’s work towards making our 10th annual run in 2015 the biggest and best it has ever been!  If you are interested in becoming more involved with Dough 4 Joe, please check out our website and contact a board member, the satisfaction and heartfelt feelings you get from helping others just can’t be topped! As always keep the Dough 4 Joe family in your thoughts and prayers as they continue to work towards the greater good of others.

How many times did you say “I can’t wait for the end of July to attend Dough 4 Joe!” Well, for those of you that attended, we hope it was everything you thought it would be and more!

This year we were at our new location, and it was absolutely AWESOME there is just no other way to put it! Dough 4 Joe has officially outgrown the side streets and city park of Elizabeth, MN. Thank you Elizabeth for hosting us all those years, we will never forget our roots, but the Viking Challenge/Ringdahl location was more than we could have ever imagined.

This year, we were able to hold our first ever 2 day event we opened the gates at 12n on Friday, July 25 and hosted 3 bands on Friday and 4 bands on Saturday. There was more than enough room for camping, and it was proven by the overwhelming number of campers and tents that pulled in for the weekends festivities! We had over 450 registered riders for the fun run, and over 50 campers/tents. Many attendees said it was their first time attending and they were so impressed; they will be back with their campers next year.  Even those multiple year veterans were impressed.  We heard nothing but overwhelmingly good comments and we were once again successful in raising funds for our recipients.

Thanks to everyone that volunteered, donated, sponsored, and attended this year’s event. We hope to see you all back for our10th annual run in 2015 – be sure to bring your friends! Check out the Dough 4 Joe 2014 pictures on our website!
