WHAT IS MITZVAHCYCLE 2024?
MitzvahCycle 2024 is a sporting event that anyone can participate in. Participants can either ride, cheer or volunteer to support patients and their loved ones in the Jewish community. After the ride there will be family- friendly fun activities while we pack Rosh HaShana boxes for hospital patients at the recreation center.
You can participate as an individual or as part of a team. Each participant will register individually for $50.00 and then set a fundraising goal (minimum of $180). Participants can form teams and set a team goal that all team members can work towards raising together. Participants aged sixteen and under who are joining an adult family member do not have to create their own fundraising goal or page. They pay the youth registration fee of $18.00 and ride with a parent, guardian or adult who will accept responsibility for staying with them.
WHEN AND WHERE IS MitzvahCycle 2024?
MitzvahCycle participants will meet at 8:30 am on Sunday, September 8, 2024 at Kensington Cabin Park.
