This year's Big Day of Giving ended for 2024 on Thursday, May 2!

Thanks!

The Big Day of Giving, to benefit and forward the work of the American River Bike Patrol and other regional non-profit organizations, closed at midnight on May 2. Donations made to the ARBP came from 60 donors, totaling $7,847.00.

The support from Big Day of Giving helps advance our safe cycling and walking programs, our junior patroller program, promote diversity by recruiting future members matching the community, replenish first aid and bike mechanical supplies and allows the Patrol to make the American River Parkway system safer and more enjoyable for families.

Thanks, from the board and members of the American River Bike Patrol! Hope to see you on the trail!
