Riley Trails $5,000 Match Donation

$5,000 Match Donation to Enhance the Trails at Riley Trails! In partnership with Ottawa County Parks and Recreation and MEMBA - Michigan's Edge Mountain Biking Association.

For those of us who have spent countless hours biking Riley Trails, we know the joy it brings through programs like Mountain Bike Camps, Outreach Rides, and Bike School. Now it’s time to give back. We’re launching a community-wide matching campaign to raise $10,000 to enhance and maintain Riley Trails, ensuring they remain safe and enjoyable. Every dollar will go toward trail repairs, upgrades, and habitat improvements. Velo Kids and a generous donor have pledged a $5,000 match, doubling your donation and amplifying its impact.

SUPPORT OUR MISSION

When you invest in Velo Kids, you're not just donating; you are actively planting the seeds for a healthier, happier, and more connected future for children in our community. Every pedal stroke in our program is a stride towards fostering resilience and joy in young riders. By offering the benefits of two wheels, mentorship from enthusiastic coaches, personalized attention, and an ignited passion for cycling, Velo Kids goes beyond mere physical activity—we're cultivating life-affirming habits and memories.

Grounded in tangible evidence, our vision to “get all kids on bikes” is simple yet profound: to elevate the social, emotional, and cognitive well-being of our youth through the joy of biking. Our conviction is not just anecdotal; it is reinforced by compelling research from Outride, whose data echoes the positive impact we witness each year and in the growth of our impact and outreach.

Join us in this journey, and together, let's steer our youth towards a path of lifelong well-being and fulfillment.

LET'S BUILD IT

Join us in an exciting journey as Velo Kids partners with the Outdoor Discovery Center (ODC) to bring an innovative bike park to our community. This collaboration is more than just building a park; it's about nurturing happy, healthy, and confident children through the joy of biking and the wonder of nature.
