Are you ready to ride for a great cause and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Fox River Trail? Join us for Miles for Matches, an annual fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Wisconsin.

On Friday, August 4, five local businesses will compete to bike the most miles on stationary bikes at Broken Spoke Bike Studio in downtown Green Bay. But that's not all! On Saturday, August 5, we invite you to be a part of our first community bike ride!

Whether you're an advanced rider, an intermediate rider, or a beginner, we have a route for you! The routes range from 4 to 27 miles, so there's something for everyone. 

By signing up for the community bike ride, not only will you get to experience the fun of cycling, but you'll also be supporting a great cause. All proceeds from Miles for Matches go to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Wisconsin, an organization that provides one-to-one mentoring relationships for children in need.

In addition to the community bike ride, we are excited to offer a peer-to-peer fundraising option for Miles for Matches. You can create your own fundraising page and invite friends and family to support a great cause!

As a thank you for your fundraising efforts, anyone who raises $250 or more will receive a unique bike jersey. This jersey is a great way to show off your support for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Wisconsin and spread awareness for this important cause.

By raising money peer-to-peer, you'll be helping to provide one-to-one mentoring relationships for children in our community who need it most. Your support can make a huge impact on the lives of these children and their families.

So, what are you waiting for? Sign up to ride and start your fundraising today! Let's make this year's Miles for Matches the best one yet!

What is Big Brothers Big Sisters?
Since 1904, Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is incredible potential. As the nation’s largest donor- and volunteer-supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (“Bigs”) and children (“Littles”) ages 7 through young adulthood in communities across the country. We develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people.
