Logan Health’s CycleMT event raises over $111,000 for children with medical challenges

Twenty-four teams of Logan Health employees and community members showed up to ride at the second annual CycleMT event, which raises funds for children across the state who are experiencing medical hardships. 

Through the peer-to-peer fundraising efforts of each participant, and the support of sponsors including Town Pump, Glacier Bank, Stockman Bank, Summit Beverage, Altana Federal Credit Union and Glacier Electric, the March 2 event was able to raise over $111,000 to help children and their families, according to a release sent by Logan Health officials. The event took place in Kalispell and Shelby. 

 The funds will directly benefit local families facing medical challenges, providing them with essential resources, therapies and support not covered by other means of funding.

“At Town Pump, we understand the importance of supporting Montana families in providing the best for their children,” Bill McGladdery, director of corporate communications at Town Pump said in the release. “We’re dedicated to being a helping hand, ensuring families have the resources they need to nurture and empower their children to reach their fullest potential.”

Committed to furthering CycleMT’s impact throughout the state, the Logan Health Foundation aims to raise $150,000 by the end of 2024. In 2023, Logan Health distributed funds to eight eligible applicants, benefiting families with items like adaptive tricycles, therapy swings, AEDs and an ADA-compliant home retrofit.

“As we reflect on the success of this year’s CycleMT event, we are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from our Logan Health family, community sponsors, and the entire community,” Joe McClafferty, President of Logan Health Foundation said in the release. “Together, we are making a tangible difference in the lives of children and families across Montana. We are immensely grateful to everyone who participated, donated and supported this meaningful event.”
