Support Oakland & Alameda Public Schools

Join us for the 18th Annual Ride for a Reason! What began in 2009 with four parents biking from Oakland Tech to the State Capitol has grown into a community ride that has raised over $2 million for East Bay public schools.

Funds support library books, sports and science equipment, after-school programs, and critical staff such as counselors, librarians, and reading specialists— for schools where fundraising opportunities are often limited. Beneficiary schools include several Rockridge-area schools, such as Emerson Elementary, Oakland Tech, and Oakland International High.

Choose a fully supported 45-, 68-, or 110-mile ride to Sacramento (shorter rides begin with a bus/train from Oakland Tech). Enjoy a great post-ride meal and a powerful day of community impact.
