2016 Biking For Baseball Team Ride
2016 Team Ride
Or Maybe We Could Go This Way!
The Biking for Baseball team ride of 2016 rolls out of Chicago Illinois on June 12. Heading straight west through Illinois and pushing on into Iowa. The team will continue to chase the sun for 170 miles all the way to Des Moines. From Des Moines the team heads south into Missouri before coasting into Kansas City on June 17th.
Both ends of the journey are highlighted by kids clinics in partnership with a local youth mentoring organization. June 11th in Chicago and June 18th in Kansas City. Even if you’re not part of the ride all are invited to join us for our kid’s clinics and see first hand what mentoring looks like!
Each of our riders is charged with personally covering their own ride expenses. So fundraising and donations go entirely to aid in program and outreach costs for Biking for Baseball during the 2016 season. Read about each rider and contribute to their campaign below. If you’d like to join up, sponsor, or help out give us a call! We’d love to add to the team.
Where do donations go?
Your donations go to covering event and promotions costs. This year Biking for Baseball will be hosting 3 kids clinics in partnership with BBBS Chicago, BBBS, KC, and BBBS Denver. Events are built to energize and reward existing match relationships and be used as recruiting platforms to showcase what mentoring looks like to new potential mentees interested in volunteering.

Thanks to our 2016 Sponsors!
