This August, I'm participating in Raise + Ride to fundraise for Phoenix Bikes, an Arlington nonprofit that uniquely combines youth education programs with a full service bike shop. Phoenix is a fantastic organization that educates youth in grades 6-12 in bike mechanics, allows them to earn their very own bike for free, and gets them out riding, racing, and giving back to the community with their new skills.
In addition to youth programs, Phoenix donates bikes to community members in need and provides affordable sales and service. It is a super cool organization!
By supporting my ride, you're making Phoenix's mission possible: harnessing the power of bikes to help youth build passion, purpose and a place in the community! This organization means a lot to me, so please consider giving to help us reach our Raise + Ride goals and support a great cause!
Some folks on this ride event are riding 100 whole miles! (the "sizzling summer century". I'm not ready for that, but I'm riding with some friends and committing to 25 miles in the heat of summer so together we will add up to 100 miles. Gotta start somewhere! Your contribution to this cause is meaningful to me, but REALLY meaningful to the kids that grow with Phoenix Bikes. Thanks for your support!
