JOIN PEDAL FOR A PURPOSE 2024
CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield & DC Bike Ride invite you to our 5th annual Pedal for a Purpose program in support of Dreaming Out Loud’s mission to end food insecurity in DC’s marginalized communities.
This year we’re embarking on our biggest mission yet to have an even greater impact on our local community! For the first-time we’re kicking off in spring and culminating at DC Bike Ride on September 7 to maximize your pedaling opportunities.
Come pedal with us and help us reach our collective goal of 200,000 miles to trigger a $25,000 donation to Dreaming Out Loud in 2024.
