Santa Barbara County, CA – 3/26/2025 – The United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County (UBGC) is excited to announce the launch of Bike4Kids, its new cycling campaign that unites riders of all levels to make a meaningful impact in the lives of local children. This initiative directly supports UBGC’s life-changing programs, providing educational, mentorship, and recreational opportunities for kids who need them most.
Bike4Kids isn’t just a ride—it’s a movement. Cycling enthusiasts, families, and community members are invited to register, track their miles, and rally support to ensure that every child in Santa Barbara County has access to enriching experiences that help them grow and thrive.
“Every pedal stroke brings us closer to a brighter future for the kids in our community,” said Taylor Swan, Chief Development Officer of UBGC. “By participating in Bike4Kids, cyclists and their networks can turn their passion into purpose, helping us fund essential programs that inspire, educate, and empower our youth.”
How to Get Involved:
• Register: Sign up to ride solo or form a team.
• Track Your Miles: Ride at your own pace, on your own schedule.
• Fundraise: Rally friends, family, and colleagues to support UBGC programs.
• Ride for a Purpose: Every mile helps provide mentorship, academic support, and recreational activities to children across Santa Barbara County.
Whether you ride one mile or one hundred, your participation helps make a lasting difference. Join us in pedaling toward a future where every child has the support and opportunities they deserve.
Let’s ride together—because every mile counts!
