Join Us For Some Outrageous Winter Fun to Support a Great Cause!
On Saturday, March 1st, gather three of your closest friends, family members, or co-workers, put on your most creative costumes, and race down Buck Hill on a queen-sized mattress—provided by Bridging and our partners at Original Mattress Factory! This outdoor winter event is packed with fun, excitement, and the opportunity to transform lives in our community.
Since its start in 1999, the Original Mattress Factory Bedrace for Bridging has raised nearly $2 million to support Bridging’s mission of furnishing homes with hope.
Here’s how you can join the fun:
- Register your team for free.
- Raise $600 per team (minimum fundraising goal)
- Show up and race!
Every dollar raised goes directly to Bridging, impacting the lives of families and individuals in need. While hundreds of participants race, many more cheer on the action and enjoy the festive atmosphere.
Don’t miss out on this life-changing event. Rally your team, start fundraising, and be part of this extraordinary experience!
Sign up today and help us create homes full of hope and possibility. Thank you for being part of this inspiring journey!
