Ride to Thrive
2023 Participant Resource Booklet
Ready to bring hope and healing to children in Africa?
Many children in sub-Saharan Africa don’t get to go to school. Sadly, they are fighting for their futures. This is why we are partnering with Villages of Hope Africa (VOH) for our 2023 Ride to Thrive—to bring hope and healing to as many children as we can.
Help enrol 300+ children in preschool at all ten VOH schools for the 2024 school year. Our goal is to raise $295,200. Keep in mind that when you send these children to preschool, they can be part of their VOH school until grade 12!
Ways to Participate
Host a ride.
Promote your ride.
Join a ride.
Get creative and host your own event this summer! Invite your family and friends to attend. Walk. Run. Bike. Swim. It doesn't matter! It's a great way to get moving and spend time together. Just make sure you have loads of fun while supporting such a worthy cause!
Don’t want to host your own ride but want to be part of one? We have churches across the country hosting Ride to Thrive events that you can join or better yet, get your own church to host one! We can also match you up with other participants so you can join together. Check out the list of events by clicking here.
I often get asked, "Why do you keep participating in the Ride to Thrive each year?" Because it’s such a great opportunity to raise awareness and funds for those in need. You have an opportunity to do something you enjoy while helping others!
