🚴 Imagine Grinnell Board Members in Action!

The Prairie Burn is more than a gravel cycling event. It's an important fundraiser that helps support Imagine Grinnell's programs throughout the year.

Our board members help make the Prairie Burn happen, from planning and fundraising to supporting the weekly gravel rides that bring cyclists together throughout the season.

Whether they're riding, organizing, fundraising, or lending a hand, our board members help keep the wheels turning! 🚲

That's Imagine Grinnell in action!
