As part of SMECO’s commitment to the community it serves, each year the Cooperative raises money for a different local charity. The two main fundraisers are the SMECO 75 Bike Ride and the Charity Golf Tournament in October. Both events are supported by a group of volunteer employees, the SMECO executive team, and vendors.
SMECO will not be holding the SMECO 75 Bike Ride in 2021 in order to protect the health of participants and volunteers. We hope to see everyone at the 2022 bike ride.
