Rodman Ride for Kids

Please note! The ride has been postponed until October 1, 2011 due to weather.

Foxboro, MA

Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester is proud to partner with the Rodman Ride for Kids, an umbrella matching gift charity raising funds for youth-focused social service agencies in Massachusetts. The Rodman Ride for Kids is the Club’s largest fundraiser and raised $330,000 in 2010 for BGCD!
Each year many generous Club supporters dust off their bikes and hit the road for a fun day of celebration and support. Please consider becoming involved this year as a rider, rider sponsor or simply to make a donation and cheer on the Club Teams!

Our Club is so grateful to each and every donor who supports our riders – every dollar you give, the Ride matches with a 10 cent donation. This means every dollar donated to the Ride equals $1.10 donation to Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester.

The Rodman Ride for Kids supports many Club activities including Disney for Kids, Marilyn Rodman Theater for Kids and other vacations and programs that give the members at Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester educational and fun opportunities!

We would be honored to have YOU with us as we partner again with the Rodman Ride! With your help we can provide today's Club members with safe, educational and life-enriching experiences.
