Welcome to my fundraising page! I am very excited to raise money to support the children and families who utilize the programs and services of the Boys & Girls Club of Portage County. This is an organization that I am very passionate about and I hope you will help me fundraise. Any amount can make a huge impact.
2022 Pedal Point Rally
Our Pedal Point Rally is going to be a combination of a virtual challenge and an in-person bike ride. Choose between a virtual biking challenge, ice cream ride and rally dinner, or an in-person ride, or all of the above!
You will have the month of June to complete the virtual biking challenge from the comforts of your neighborhood or the trails around your community. See how far you can bike in one month. Your t-shirt will indicate the amount of miles you complete!
New this year, is an ice cream ride and rally dinner on Friday, July 15th at the Hostel Shoppe. Riders will meet at the Hostel Shoppe to receive a King Cone coupon to ride to devour an ice cream cone, then ride back to the Hostel Shoppe to enjoy a delicious dinner together and kick off the event weekend.
On Saturday, July 16th, you can participate in our in-person celebration ride at the Hostel Shoppe. Rides range in lengths from four miles up to sixty miles. After, food trucks, bounce houses, games, and a short presentation will take place to give prizes to those who biked the most miles and raised the most pledges for the Club.

Our Pedal Point Rally will make a difference in the lives of Portage County children. 100% of the proceeds will go towards feeding meals daily, teaching life skills, and helping children through their daily challenges, big or small. When you are asking your friends and family to donate or pledge money for the number of miles you ride, please remember that you are helping us do whatever it takes to meet the needs of these children.
Over the past few years, our Pedal Point Rally has raised over $30,000 to support Portage County children. We are asking for your help in reaching that goal again this year. Gather all of your friends and family to pledge and let's make it happen!
