We are also the proud founder of The Annual Ride for Breast Cancer of the Ozarks, now running into its third year. Every October, we get companies, sponsors and the community together to ride motorcycles and cars on a round trip to Lebanon, Missouri. All the proceeds support the Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks. In 2012, we raised about $25,000.
In addition to the Annual Ride, Christenson Transportation, as a company, continues to raise money throughout the year by hosting smaller company fundraising events for our own employees including $1.00 dress down days, raffles, bake sales and more.
