LONGVIEW, Texas — The 36th annual Freeze Your Fanny cycling event took place in Longview on Saturday morning to support a great cause.
The event offered participants the choice of tackling a 10, 30, or 65-mile biking course.
For participants unable to join the event in-person, virtual options were made available to contribute to the cause.
The event proceeds go directly towards supporting East Texas Lightnin' and their athletes who take part in Special Olympics events.
These funds cover essential expenses such as uniforms, entry fees, accommodations and meals.
Mother and event coordinator, Cari Hoefer, shared how much this support means to her daughter, "It's amazing to see all of these cyclists come out and support our organization, year after year. We appreciate that because if it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have Freeze Your Fanny," Hoefer said.
If you would like to support East Texas Lightnin' and their athletes, you can make a difference by sending your donation to P.O. Box 88 in Longview.
