Thank you The Commercial Dispatch for this story about the 2026 Tammy's Ride for Camp Rising Sun! And thank you to all of our riders, who raised over $2,700 for CRS!

Lt. Tammy Prescott had been battling cancer for a year when she stayed up until 3 a.m. on a summer night in June, painting pillowcases for Camp Rising Sun’s incoming campers.

And, our final fundraising number for the 2026 Tammy’s Ride for Camp Rising Sun is $2,701! That’s enough to send two children to camp for the entire week.

Thank you all so much for making this event a great one year after year. We’re already looking forward to our 2027 ride!
