Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Inc. (Erau)

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Inc. (Erau), on behalf of Captain Jahmar F. Resilard, an alumni, who achieved his dream of being a pilot with the Marines only to have his dream cut short when he was involved in a tragic night time flight training accident on 12/6/2018 in Iwakuni, Japan.  The high cost of aviation flight lessons has deterred many future pilot students of their dreams. This fundraiser will help a future pilot to pursue that dream while studying at Emery Riddle, Daytona, Florida.

I always believed that aviators are the future of this world and the sky is unlimited with possibilities. The universe holds so many secrets/wonders that have yet to be explored. Jahmar loved the sky and preferred to fly rather than driving an automobile. He always felt closest to God and his dreams while in the air.  

Any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me. Captain Jahmar F. Resilard Memorial Fund (B473). Please know that any donations is a tax credit for you!

Again, thank you and God Bless!

More information about Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Inc. (Erau): Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is the world leader in aviation and aerospace higher education.

The Riddle Mountain Biking Club is a newly formed MTB club, started in the fall of 2019.  The club is for students on the Daytona Beach, Florida campus of the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.  The club holds regular group rides across the various trails systems in Florida.  The members work together as a team to encourage each other and progress their riding skills.  The club donates time to local trail maintenance, participates in local MTB races and hopes to develop a collegiate Cross County MTB race team in the near future.  

This semester, three of our members had their bikes stolen while locked up on campus.  These students not only lost their bikes for regular weekend trail rides but also lost their campus transportation.  

Since these thefts, the club has worked with the Student Government to acquire secure indoor bike storage for club members living on campus.  This should be in place in early March 2020. 

Unfortunately, the club does not have the means to replace the individual's stolen bikes.  This is where we make our plea to the MTB community.  Please help us get these students back on the trails with a small donation to this fund.  We know the MTB community is a tight-knit group that helps out its fellow riders when the chips are down.  Let's show these young riders what the community is all about.  

Our goal is to purchase three entry-level hardtail mountain bikes for these three students to use whenever they desire.  Each bike is priced at $900.00 and our goal is set for $2700.  

Sincerely, 
The Riddle MTB Club
