Orchard Place Moonlight Classic

Thank You for a Successful Moonlight Classic presented by Sammons Financial Group

Orchard Place sends gratitude to our sponsors, volunteers, and riders who made the Moonlight Classic a night to remember. Thanks to your generosity and support we are proud to announce we exceeded our $100,000 goal.

Cyclists of all ages and skill levels made a 10-mile journey through the heart of Des Moines to raise awareness for children’s mental health. “We are deeply grateful to everyone who participated in this year’s event!” said Amy Payne-Johnson, Director of Volunteers and Special Events. “With over 200+ riders, the event was a tremendous success. I’m especially proud of our Orchard Place Foundation team and everyone that came out to support the children and families we serve.”
