2020 trail projects & how you can help!
COPMOBA has so many projects on tap for 2020, and to support those efforts, we're kicking off a community fundraising effort with the goal of raising $15,000 to support these projects! To make it even more exciting, donors get a rad thank-you gift for participating, which includes a custom bikerpelli by our friends over at All Metals Welding and Fabrication! Read the long list of exciting projects below and then visit www.copmoba.org/donate to help us reach this goal!
