We raise funds to donate to local charities. One of which is Charlie's Champs, a local non-profit organization that strives to provide events for children with different abilities who cannot participate in organized sporting events. Charlie's Champs provides adaptive equipment for a child's specific disability so that child may play and be a part of an organized sporting event, allowing children and their families to enjoy being on a team with others.

We reach out to community organizations to advocate for cycling and open dialogues on how we can share the road.
