Riding for a Brighter Future
It may have been a rainy day, but this year’s Rodman Ride for Kids still brought us closer to a brighter future for children in need.
A better future begins with investing in the youth in our communities. This includes supporting education, health, social, and creative development. Rodman for Kids shines a light on possibilities and potential, creates pathways, and provides access to a better future for kids in need of support.
Rodman for Kids provides comprehensive support, including fundraising and organizational resources, to youth-focused charities of all sizes. In addition to financial support, Rodman for Kids provides space and programs for collaboration, networking, professional development, and best practices for our Charity Partners.
