For the benefit of: Of the many organizations we donate event proceeds to, the Kona 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo raises funds specifically for the Copper Corridor Economic Development Coalition (
http://www.coppercorridor.org/). CCEDC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization established to promote economic stimulus in nearby old mining towns located in Eastern Pinal county. Eastern Pinal’s communities have been hard hit over the past several years as result of the many mines shutting down their operations. CCEDC is generating new opportunities for commerce through tourism, education and historical significance.
