The ride auction proceeds will benefit the Community Foundation Virgin Islands (CFVI) Friends and Family Fund for US Virgin Islands Renewal.
CFVI has a longstanding history of serving the Virgin Islands and is a trusted vehicle for receiving and distributing funds to support renewal across the Territory. Hurricanes Irma and Maria ripped through the islands within a two-week period last year leaving widespread destruction on the landscape, infrastructure, and residents.
CFVI was selected to help ease the challenges facing the residents of St. John, St. Thomas and St. Croix, islands that have not received as much attention as other hard-hit areas.
