Celebrating 35 Years of Riding for Brighter Futures – And the First-Ever Ride for Kids Jr.!

 

Last Saturday, we hit the road—and a major milestone.

The 35th Annual Rodman Ride for Kids brought together riders, volunteers, Charity Partners, and supporters from across Eastern & Central Massachusetts to celebrate three and a half decades of impact for youth-focused nonprofits. And while we honored our legacy, we also made history with the inaugural Ride for Kids Jr., a brand-new event designed to introduce the next generation to the joy of riding for a cause.

From the early morning excitement to the final cheers at the finish line, the energy was unmatched. Riders pedaled 25 and 50 miles with purpose, determination, and heart. Kids zoomed through their own route, complete with speedbumps, bubbles, and a whole lot of fun. Our Fun Hub was packed with smiling faces, ice cream cones, and community connection. It was a day full of momentum, memories, and meaning.

Together, we honored 35 years of impact, celebrated our community’s collective generosity, and welcomed new changemakers into the Rodman for Kids community.

Thanks to your support, 100% of funds raised will go directly to our Charity Partners so that they can better serve their kids. That means thousands of young people will gain access to the resources, programs, and opportunities they need to dream, grow, and succeed.

To everyone who rode, volunteered, fundraised, donated, or cheered from the sidelines: thank you for helping us continue this powerful tradition—and for helping us build a brighter future for the kids in our community.

Here’s to 35 years of riding strong—and to the many milestones still ahead. 💛🚴‍♀️💫
