Are you ready to ride for a great cause? 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 Live X Studio in downtown Green Bay. But that's not all! Starting on August 1st and going until August 5th, we invite you to take part in our Shop and Ride event!

We are excited to launch the Miles for Matches Presented by Prevea - Shop and Ride event! We will give our matches and community members a passport to local businesses that they can bike to! They’ll try to visit as many businesses as they can with incentives for stopping by.

We’re hoping to provide children and families in the community with low-cost experiences, allowing them to explore and support local businesses! We want to encourage healthy outdoor activities and show all the great things they can do in the Green Bay area!

In addition to the Shop and Ride event, 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!
