Ride to Reno: A Motorcycle Ride to Benefit Visual Arts

Tuesday, August 07, 2007

“Ride to Reno” is a motorcycle ride to benefit the NAMTA Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization for the arts.

Teams of riders will leave from different points in the United States to reach Reno, NV by May 1, 2008 for NAMTA’s annual convention and trade show. NAMTA is the National Art Materials Trade Association, a membership organization whose members manufacture and sell art supplies.

The NAMTA Foundation supports the arts by providing annual scholarships for students pursuing art-related courses of study; disaster relief grants to aid those individuals, art-related businesses and organizations who are devastated by natural or manmade disasters; grants to individuals and organizations to provide art projects within local communities; and coordination of art projects for children and senior citizens.
