Don Forth has decided to blaze his own trail this year and do a 3,300 mile solo, unsupported bicycle ride from Santa Monica, CA to Yorktown, VA.

He will be following old Route 66 starting at the Pacific ocean, crossing California, the Mojave Desert, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and up into Missouri where he will pick up USBR 76 and continue across Illinois, Kentucky and Virginia to the Atlantic ocean ( 9 states in total).

There will be no support vehicles following Don.  He will need to closely manage his food and water supply to not run out as there are long stretches with no access to food or water.  He will be totally reliant on his own planning ability.  His lodging will mainly consist of sleeping in a bivvy under the stars!

Don will be traveling light to allow for riding around 150 – 200 miles a day, which means just the clothes on his back and rain gear for inclement weather.

This is not your grandma’s bingo! Rock out the night at Rock & Roll Bingo! In a game where Name That Tune meets bingo, players test their knowledge of music trivia after a short clip and must get a bingo to win. Join us for a fun night to help support JCS!

Tickets are $30.00 and include dinner, beverage, and bingo card.

Come join us and tour the flat farmlands of the Mississippi valley heading south out of Columbia, Illinois with views of the bluffs as we support our adopted Heroes.

The JCS Bike for Heroes ride offers four different routes in distances of 10 miles, 25 miles, 50 miles, or 80 miles.  There will be several rest stops with snacks, drinks, and facilities available for your convenience. On the 25 and 50 mile routes, you will travel the flat farmlands and enjoy views of the Missouri and Illinois river bluffs.

The 80-mile route extends to Prairie Du Rocher, Illinois where you will ride alongside bluffs and pass Fort De Chartres. Built in 1753, this site marks the location of the last of four successive French forts built during the colonization of the Illinois Country.

The Price of Freedom Gala is a military-inspired evening to benefit the Joshua Chamberlain Society’s efforts to provide aid for severely wounded military service members and the families of killed-in-action members of our military. The evening will honor our current JCS heroes while raising funds that will allow us to support additional heroes.
