Ride for a Reason

🚴‍♀️ Sacramento, here we come! We’re just $45K from our fundraising goal and the energy is UNREAL going into this Saturday’s ride.
The challenge is on: Hit $500 raised by April 25 midnight and you’re in the running for some incredible prizes — Warriors courtside seats, a night at the Claremont, Oakland Ballers VIP experience, eBike rentals, and so much more. 🏀🏨🚲
Not fundraising yet? It’s not too late — link in bio for tools and a sample letter to get you started.

🎉 Huge congrats to the 73 riders who’ve already hit $500 — you’re legends. Our top 10 will ride with bib numbers 1–10!

See you on the road. 💛

Sunday was something special. 🤍

Huge gratitude to Grand Gallery and every artist who opened their space and shared their work. Your generosity directly supports R4R and local public schools. It’s moments like this that make Oakland feel like a town.

A special thanks to for providing wine for the reception!

This is what community looks like. Thank you for having us. Thank you for giving. 🙏
