All of us at Bikes Not Bombs extend our heartfelt thanks and congratulations to you for supporting our 38th Annual Bike-A-Thon on June 8th! It was truly a special day for Bike Not Bombs friends, youth, staff, volunteers, and supporters to come together, in solidarity, to build a more just, equitable, and sustainable world, from the ground up. 255 riders and 28 teams rode for social change on a beautiful June day! Thanks to your support, we were able to raise over $140,000 - and still counting!
Here are some of the highlights from the 2025 Bike-A-Thon:
- 70 people rode the 10-mile Emerald Necklace route;
- 102 people rode 35 miles; and
- 93 people rode 50 miles!
- 100+ volunteers helped organize, serve food, and more!
- Three musical acts, six artists, two community partners, and three sponsors joined us at our after-party!
Donations continue to come in and fundraising will close by end-of-day Saturday, June 30th. Thank you so much for your hard work and your awesome fundraising efforts!
