Foxborough Residents Can Make a Difference: Rodman's Ride for Kids

The 21st Rodman's Ride for Kids will take place in Foxborough on September 24th. The Ride is a non-competitive cycling tour, devoted to raising money for at-risk children in Massachusetts. The money that is raised from the event is donated to youth-focused social service agencies in hopes to improve the lives and support for the children in this population.

As of July 6th, $6,732.00 has already been raised through general donations, teams and individuals. You can participate in the event as an individual with dedication to fundraise $1,500.00 dollars, or with a team of up to 45 riders in effort to raise $75,000.00. The larger the team, the more opportunities for recognition and promotion through newsletters, goody bags, t-shirts, team/company signs and banners and more. This is a wonderful opportunity for businesses and companies to help the community while also promoting themselves.

There are various routes for the ride, including two which are 25 miles, one which is 50 miles and one that is 100 miles. The start time varies depending on how many miles you or your team will partake in.

It is suggested that each rider bring along a helmet, a road worthy bike, a change of clothes for the end of the event, a totaled pledge sheet and all collected donations.

The ride's mission is to have every child live how they would want their own child to live. It is an honest and whole-hearted event that can make a difference in the lives of many children. With it being so close to home for Foxborough residents, it is a wonderful opportunity for the community to stand-up and get involved! With over 82 million dollars raised since 1991, there are high hopes that this September will be a great success!
