From staff reports
Redbank Valley Trails Association (RVTA) has opened its annual December Challenge to raise funds for the upkeep of the trails.
This year’s December Challenge runs through December 31 with a goal of raising at least $5000. A generous donor has offered to match the first $5000 in donations.
Donations, shelter, bridge and picnic table memorials, and trail memberships all count toward the match. Trail memberships renew in January and can also be given as gifts.
Redbank Valley Trails is a 51-mile non-motorized recreational trail managed, improved, and maintained by the all-volunteer nonprofit Redbank Valley Trails Association.
Donations can be made online through PayPal at www.redbankvalleytrails.org/donations or mailed to RVTA at 419 Arch Street, New Bethlehem, PA 16242.
Donations are also accepted and trails shirts, guide books and water bottles can be purchased at 419 Arch Street at the Gallery at New Bethlehem Town Center from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and from 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays.
