From grassroots motorcycle rides to nationwide corporate partnerships, Ride for Kids has been making a charitable impact for over 40 years. In this episode, host Heather Wilson Schiltz sits down with Alissa Karas, Director of Peer-to-Peer Fundraising at the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (PBTF), to explore how the powersports community has raised more than $70 million to fight the deadliest form of childhood cancer: brain cancer.
They discuss the legacy of Ride for Kids, why adding a charitable component to motorsports events is a win-win for organizers and the community, and practical tips for anyone looking to get started in fundraising, whether youโre an individual rider, a local club, or a major brand.
