We have also updated the 40-mile road to be an on-island road ride; winding through Hilton Head Island’s most historic and interesting areas!

For the more adventurous rider, cross over the bridges to the mainland in the metric century 62-mile ride to enjoy the island’s most scenic vistas, including a tour through the exclusive community of Spanish Wells.

For the family and the little tikes, there’s a short two-mile Coligny beach and pathway ride – bring your family and join kids from the Boys & Girls Club too!

The fun doesn’t end after the ride! Meet your ride participants following the ride during a safe and distanced event with music and complimentary food and drinks. Also new for 2021, we’ve pushed our start times back so all participants come well-rested!

Pedal Provides – We Need You Now More Than Ever

MISSION

Pedal Hilton Head has two missions, the first is to be a marquee cycling event in our Gold Level Bicycle Friendly Community. The second and most important mission is to fund programs and scholarships at the Boys & Girls Club of Hilton Head Island for those kids who need us the most. Parents and caregivers can rely on the Club to provide childcare, unique learning and recreation opportunities, and a healthy source of food for their children. All of which would not be available without generous donors like you. The Club also provides part and full-time employment for over 20 members of the Hilton Head community plus draws from the incredible volunteers that make the Island who we are!

The Boys and Girls Club of Hilton Head has faced extreme challenges since the onset of COVID-19. The facility was forced to close temporarily in early 2020 and left our most vulnerable members (kids) at risk. The Club was able to safely reopen for a summer program serving a limited number of members. In the fall and into the spring, the Club partnered with the Beaufort County School District to provide a safe and well-staffed environment to support virtual learning.

The Club is a cornerstone of daily life for the children and teens that it serves daily. Many of them are from low-income families: 63% of Club Members (children) are from families living in poverty, 71% do not have health insurance, 54% live in single-parent households and many do not have a home to call their own.

Pedal Hilton Head’s fundraising goal has never had higher stakes, as the world reels with uncertainty, it is more important than ever to provide stability for our members. While we never know what the future holds, donors to the Boys and Girls Club of Hilton Head can be assured that the positive impacts of their contributions are felt across Hilton Head daily. The Boys and Girls Club provides exceptional after-school, summer education, recreation, and other enrichment programs. Participants in the Club are given the tools to become better students and active community members.

Your 2021 registration and contributions support our programs which focus on academic success, a healthy lifestyle, and being good, productive, caring citizens. The Club works with staff, the board, and community volunteers to continually improve programming and our facilities to meet the changing and growing needs of the children of Hilton Head.

Sponsor A Child from The Boys and Girls Club of Hilton Head Island

Our Pedal-for-a-Kid challenge is back bigger and better than ever for 2021. Your $300 registration fee lets you ride for a specific child served by the Boys and Girls Club, and you’ll proudly wear their picture on your jersey as you ride. It also entitles you to the 2021 Pedal cycling jersey as part of your swag. If registered by March 5th, your jersey will be in your packet on pick-up day and you can wear your jersey on May 2nd for the main ride.

Pedal-for-a-Kid riders are encouraged to fundraise beyond their $300 registration. As an added incentive, $150 of the $300 registration fee will be matched by a generous donor. So, every $300 registration provides $450 of value to the Club. Beyond that, every single dollar donated or raised by Pedal-for-a-Kid riders will be matched by our donor, making every dollar effectively DOUBLED. Learn more about the challenge and how you can fundraise here:  http://bit.ly/PedalChallenge2021

Again, those Pedal-for-a-Kid Benefits are:

• 2021 Signature Pedal Cycling Jersey, Dry-Fit Shirt, and Swag Bag
• Picture of the child you are riding to support
• Customized resource help for GoFundMe-Charity solicitations, as needed
• If registered by 3/5/21, get a jersey in time for the ride
• Automatic $150 match, so $300 fee is an automatically $450 value to Boys and Girls Club.
• Additional fundraising fully matched

After you register, you will receive a link to a GoFundMe-Charity site created for Pedal. Don’t let this enriching opportunity pass you by. This year, Pedal-for-a-Kid!
