Event summary
Join us on Saturday, April 26, 2025, for the inspiring Ride 4A Reason event in Oakland, Alameda! This highly anticipated ride brings together community members, educators, and advocates to support public education in California. Since its inception in 2008, Ride 4A Reason has grown into a powerful movement, with last year's event seeing over 300 participants cycling from Oakland to the steps of the State Capitol. Riders will raise funds for 12 beneficiary public schools, ensuring that students have access to essential resources like library books, sports equipment, and after-school programs. With a focus on serving historically marginalized student groups, this event is a fantastic opportunity to make a positive impact while enjoying a day of camaraderie and advocacy. Don't miss out on being part of this remarkable journey toward better education for all!
Organiser's Description
The first Ride 4A Reason happened in 2008: four cyclists with children in public schools, frustrated by the severe state budget cuts to education, rode from Oakland to Sacramento to dramatize their determination to do better for Californias students. Ride for a Reason has been going strong since then. Last year, over 300 students, teachers, parents and community members pedaled from Oakland to the steps of the State Capitol to raise money for 12 beneficiary public schools and to advocate for greater funding for education.
The schools use these funds for the basic necessities: library books, sports equipment, art education, after-school programs, science equipment, and staff salaries for counselors, librarians, and reading specialists. Our R4R recipient schools serve predominantly students who receive free or reduced lunch, are English language learners, migrant students and other historically marginalized student groups. As of 2024, we have raised close to $1.8 million for public schools in Oakland and Alameda.
