Community.

Action.

Change.

Together.

ROCK THE RIDE is a benefit bike ride and walk that raises funds for national and local nonprofit organizations working to end gun violence.

Our nonprofit beneficiaries, special guest speakers, and national leaders will inspire you to ask questions, get engaged, and get moving as we ride, walk and talk together. A collective day of action may be a small step (or pedal) to a future free from gun violence.

We believe that community + action = change
