2024 Doughnut Ride Charity Event

Join Us for the Annual Donut Ride + Fundraiser – December 1, 2024!

Mark your calendars for December 1, 2024, because the highly anticipated Donut Ride + Fundraiser is returning to our community! If you’re a fan of cycling, sweet treats, and supporting a good cause, this event is tailor-made for you. The ride promises to be a thrilling 25-mile journey through town, with stops at several beloved local donut shops, offering discounts, prizes, and perhaps even a new favorite donut flavor.

The primary mission of this event is to support the Adopt-a-Bike program, which plays a crucial role in our community by collecting and refurbishing used bicycles to distribute to families in need. To date, this initiative has successfully provided over 300 bicycles to families, ensuring they have access to free transportation. Now, the program is looking to expand its reach, and what better way to help than by joining us for a fun-filled day of cycling and delicious donuts?

What to Expect on the Donut Ride

The excitement kicks off early with registration, where participants can choose from multiple registration levels to suit their donation capabilities. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, comes with raffle ticket(s) and, of course, donuts. Yes, you read that correctly – donuts are included with your registration! For those looking to amplify their chances of winning one of the fantastic prizes in our raffle, additional tickets will be available for purchase.

As you roll through the scenic routes, enjoy a sweet stop at each of our participating donut shops, engage with fellow riders, and soak in the festive atmosphere. It’s a chance not only to indulge in delightful confections but also to foster community spirit while raising funds for a beneficial cause.

The Importance of the Adopt-a-Bike Program

The Adopt-a-Bike program was launched with a vision to provide sustainable transportation options to families who may struggle to afford reliable means of getting around. In many neighborhoods, especially those with limited public transport, the absence of a bike can lead to significant challenges. It can restrict access to job opportunities, educational facilities, and essential services.

By refurbishing and redistributing bicycles, this program breaks down those barriers, paving the way for a brighter, more mobile future for many residents. As they gear up to reach even more families this season, participants of the Donut Ride are not just enjoying a fun day out; they’re making a tangible difference in their community.

Getting Involved

To take part in this exciting event, simply register online and choose your donation level. Whether you’re an avid cyclist, a casual rider, or someone who just loves donuts, there’s a place for you at this year’s Donut Ride. It’s a perfect way to gather your friends, family, or colleagues for a day of joy and generosity.

Additionally, if you’re looking to spread the word or make an even bigger impact, consider sharing the event details on social media or inviting your network to participate or donate. Every effort counts towards making this event a resounding success and helping more families gain access to bikes.
