Starting at Columbine High School, our mostly dependable Colorado sunshine presented us with another great riding day. 1595 bikes were counted leaving Columbine, with almost 600 passengers. Other bikes joined along the way, and a group from Fairplay joined us at Platte Canyon High, so the number of participants easily matched last year's numbers. In the absence of road construction, it was a lovely ride with the aspen trees donning their finest colors.

Generous donations from participants and onlookers are distributed responsibly and effectively toward the stated goals of The
"I Love U Guys" Foundation.

• The 3rd Annual Emily's Parade proceeds will be used in part to fund the National School Safety Collaborative, a program being developed by The "I Love U Guys" Foundation. A portion of the proceeds will also go to Bailey-area programs which support children and families. Please see Our Actions for information.

• Over 1600 bikes were counted at the 2nd Annual Emily's Parade; funds raised were distributed to our beneficiaries: Colorado Uplift, Bridges to Peace and Step 13.

• The 1st Annual Emily's Parade raised over $70,000, which was transferred to the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance (COVA) to be privately administered for the benefit of the six girls who survived the Platte Canyon High School shooting.
