Why ride our virtual ride?

The Moonlight Classic is in its 9th year and is the largest fundraising event of the year for Orchard Place. While we all love the fun and unique atmosphere this ride provides, the truth is that it's so much more than "just a ride." It's a ride that provides strong futures to the nearly 9,000 Iowa children and families served annually by Orchard Place. The funds raised from this event allow us to continue to provide therapeutic services each year to our youth, which has become even more critical since the pandemic started. Expenses for this event are low - especially as we move it to virtual - so your registration fee of $40 goes directly to help our kids get back to the business of being kids.

How will this work?

Riders will still be able to register for the Moonlight Classic, which serves as the largest annual fundraising event for Orchard Place and our youth mental health services, but will need to complete their ride in their neighborhood or on their favorite trail.
