Deciding on a charity
Our goal is to help as many people as we can. The criteria we have for deciding on an organization is quite simple: they have to help others, and they should do it on a larger scale. While we know how important physical activity for kids truly is, donating to one local town's playground fund isn't our priority. Sure, it does help one community, but there are larger organizations that can help a broader range of people.
Think the Red Cross or National Heart Association. That's the scale we're thinking. Now, that doesn't mean we won't consider a local charity — in fact, we have no reason not to consider EVERY charity. But we'd like to have the dollars collected go to helping a larger number of people. Make sense?

This Month's Charity
This month we'll be donating to the
PanMass Challenge, and
very close friends of OCAMF, Dennis and
Lori Manning. Every dollar we raise
this summer will go towards this
terrific organization. And, if you'd
like to give more than your monthly
donation, you can support their ride
by clicking here, or
you can make a general
donation here.
If you'd like to know why we chose that organization, click here. You can also click here and let us what charity you'd like to see included in the coming months.
