On Sunday, May 6th nearly 200 participants and volunteers gathered in Van Neste Square in Ridgewood to Hike or Bike for Family Promise as we celebrated the 25th Anniversary of this special event!
It was a fantastic day filled with music, dancing, food, games, giveaways, prizes and of course, the Hike or Bike! Thank you to EVERYONE – our enthusiastic hikers and bikers who braved the weather (again), their families, friends and colleagues who generously supported their efforts, our dedicated volunteers (the best ever) and fantastic, loyal sponsors – for making the Hike or Bike a fun, glorious day and a great success!
Participants chose to either hike or bike a 3-mile route or bike a 15-mile route. Most participants joined one of 15 teams, and encouraged their friends and family to donate to Family Promise in support of their Hike or Bike. Funds raised will support Family Promise’s programs serving homeless working families.
Please share this wonderful video created at last year’s Hike or Bike with all of your friends and supporters!
