Event Beneficiaries

The Low Tide Ride & Stride donates the majority of funds raised to our wounded warriors, primarily the Comprehensive Combat Complex Casualty Care (C5) Unit at Naval Medical Center San Diego and the Warrior Foundation. The remaining portion supports local community programs selected by the Rotary Club of Coronado.

Military Causes
