12th Annual Bike Tour with MTS for Autism
Our 12th Annual Bike Tour with MTS for Autism Has Raised Over $81,000
MTS Logistics will host its 12th Annual Bike Tour with MTS for Autism, on Saturday, June 11th, 2022.
Background:
MTS Logistics, a NYC-based shipping company, was formed over two decades ago. In that time, we have spearheaded several Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives within the shipping industry. Our main initiative is our annual bike tour event where we raise money for autism awareness and workforce training. Proceeds raised are donated to Spectrum Works, which provides job training and employment to young adults with autism. We also have hosted ocean beach cleaning initiatives for cleaner oceans, among other sustainability projects.
Last year, many joined us to support autism awareness, a cause that has always been very dear to the MTS Logistics community. Together, we “returned to normal” in the midst of a deadly pandemic and held our charity event. And, thanks to everyone who supported this cause, we raised over $65,000.
In 2022, we set a goal to raise more than $80,000 for autism awareness. As of today, we have exceeded our goal and raised over $81,000 already, with $100,000 within reach. Please consider helping us support the cause of autism awareness. Any amount counts.
Current Goal Progress:
