  • Each member of the YPB will participate in the 36th Annual Rodman Ride for Kids (our annual cycling event) that is taking place in Foxboro, MA.
    • You can ride the 25 or 50 mile route, OR participate as a virtual participant and do something on your own!
      • The 25 mile route does not require training, but definitely plan to train for the 50 mile route!
      • If you do not have a bike, we will provide a bike for you as well as a Rodman for Kids bike jersey.
      • If you are a virtual rider, we ask you to volunteer day of the Ride at the finish line to cheer on our riders coming in!
      • After you finish your ride, enjoy some brews and burgers at the barbecue!
  • There will be meetings once a month from January- October, with the exception of no meetings in May and July. We ask that each member attends 6 out of the 8 meetings.*
    • These meetings will consist of a combination of mission focused meetings, fun networking events, and more!
