Charity Partners

Rodman for Kids believes in the power of collaboration, working together with 40+ youth-focused non-profit organizations as a true partner towards a common vision to support the most vulnerable young people in our communities. We not only act as a core funder of these organizations, but as a convenor and catalyst.

The 40+ organizations below partner with us on our Rodman Ride for Kids event, but we support many other organizations, schools, and programs that align with our mission.
