WE NOW WAIT FOR THE RESULTS TO BE SHARED ON NOV. 28, 2023!
Emporia Area Match Day was held on Monday, November 13, 2023 and held incredible opportunity for nonprofit organizations within the greater Emporia area. On that day, online & check contributions were matched on a prorated basis. There was $175,000 in matching funds from: the Antes Charitable Family Fund; the Clint Bowyer 79 Fund; the ECF Fund for the Future; the Emporia Masonic Lodge No. 12, A.F. & A.M.; Joyce French; the Gilpin Family Fund; the WS & EC Jones Testamentary Trust, Bank of America, N.A. Trustee; the Laurent Charitable Family Fund; the Fred and Paula Neuer Fund; the Preston Family Trust; Merry and Charles Rayl; the Jane and Bernard Reeble Endowed Fund; and the Trusler Foundation.
The money earned by each non-profit group was an outright donation and may be used as they wish. PINK GRAVEL FUND choose to keep donations in the fund with the Emporia Community Foundation for future use toward grants offered year round to breast cancer patients and survivors.

The partnership to assemble and promote one of the very first Lauf Cycling Seigla gravel bikes arriving in North America! was a success.
The frameset was provided by Lauf in the new color “Moss Campion”– a shade of pink. Other partners working together to make this project happen were SRAM Road and Gravel, providing a SRAM Rival AXS electronic shifting and Rival hydraulic brake groupset, Cantu Wheels for a pink-themed wheelset, Panaracer for 700c x 50mm tires, Fizik for a saddle, Jeremy Hutsell for assembly and Backroads Bicycle in Marysville, KS for finishing touches. This project came to fruition with the assistance of many great and generous people including the partners involved with the Pony Express Gravel Dash and the event team. |

The 2021 Pony Express Gravel Dash 120 Relay team consisted of Doug S., Dan K. and Sarah K. Team member Doug lost his wife, Amy, to cancer and displayed kindness when he included this Amy into his Amy's #TeamAmy tribe. They completed the course in under 9 hours with 8 (maybe it was 9) seconds to spare.
