Ride for the Foundation FUNdraiser

2021-09-28T12:01:31-05:00

Since 2014, Steve Grandon has been riding his Harley across the county, raising money for ROW education.  We caught up with the founder of this unique event after his seventh ride. Steve, you created the FUNdrasier event in 2014.  How did you come up with the idea? In 2014 our conference was held in Hartford, CT.  Realizing the 2015 conference would be in San Diego, I tried to recall when we had back-to-back conferences that far apart.  I thought how cool it would be to ride the entire distance, basically coast-to-coast, on the bike.  I had never [...]

Do Your Best

2023-03-22T10:59:34-05:00

We all say it. We often promise to do it. But how often do we actually fulfill that promise? With all our good intentions, the pressures of life do lead us astray. But when we do our best, pushing through obstacles, using all our efforts, the satisfaction is enormous. And the rewards are sweeter because they’ve been hard earned. Ralph Waldo Emerson said “Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.” RWIEF helps you do just that. Our Foundation has supported right of way education for over 40 years, [...]

40 Years of Giving Back Since RWIEF’s inception in 1976 as a non-profit funding mechanism for right of way education, the Foundation has supported IRWA in building and improving its education program. Coming to the end of our 40th anniversary year, it is amazing to recognize that approximately $1.8M has been endowed to the program. Most members know that Foundation funding has produced new courses, updated existing courses, converted classroom courses to online formats, and made possible the 2004 revision of the PRINCIPLES OF RIGHT OF WAY textbook, but that’s not all. Funding for the [...]
