The Rodman Ride For Kids is an umbrella matching gift charity that raises funds for child-related social service agencies in Massachusetts and serves as a catalyst by providing child welfare agencies an opportunity to raise funds through this event.

The Ride For Kids and its 25 benefiting agencies fundraise year-round, culminating with the Ride event, when 1,200 cyclists participate in a 25, 50, or 100-mile non-competitive cycling tour on Saturday, September 27, 2008. 100% of the expenses associated with the Ride are underwritten.

Since its inception in 1991, the Ride For Kids has raised over $31 million to help at-risk children in Massachusetts.
