This isn’t just about the ride—
It’s about putting your pedals to the metal and your dollars to good use. Every mile you cover helps us step closer to ending hunger in our community. Your participation and support will provide essential meals and resources to those in need.
As an MS150 Additional Training Ride, this is an event that you need to place on your calendar. Course lengths are 33, 43, 53, and 63 miles. There is even a 6-mile family ride!
All proceeds from the Gator Ride, Gear Up to End Hunger, will go toward our Annual Campaign. The most basic need for survival is food, and an unacceptable number of families need food assistance in our community. Hearts and Hands of Baytown is leading the fight to address food insecurity by providing residents access to fresh, healthy food via our six-pillar programs. In all our endeavors, we work to remove the stigma of needing food and provide clients with opportunities to strive toward self-sufficiency.
Because of support like yours, we can provide food for families in a dignified and supportive manner while supporting services with collaborating partnerships to eradicate hunger and address the underlying causes. All proceeds from the event are invested directly back into our community.
