TOTE BAG TO BENEFIT RIGHTRIDES!
The awesome and very talented Garrett Morin has created a design that honors the non-profit work and selfless spirit of Craig Murphey. Craig, who passed away in 2007, was a community advocate who worked hard to contribute to the things he believed in. One of those things was the SafeWalk program which he helped set up in 2006.
Garrett’s design – “Who’s Gonna Drive You Home Tonight” features a bike-riding knight in shining armor leading the way towards a time when no one has to fear walking home alone.
Garrett’s chosen RightRides as the charity to benefit from sales of this design.
Thank you Garrett and Part Of It!
