Our Mission

Our overarching mission is to make a difference in the lives of others, while promoting a fit and healthy lifestyle.

Our Story: From 30 Bikes to $600,000

What began in 2008 as a modest, in-house spin-a-thon with 30 participants has evolved into a powerhouse of community giving. Founded by three gym members driven by a simple desire to give back, that inaugural event raised $5,400 for local organizations.

Today, the Charity Cycling Challenge (CCC) is powered by a diverse committee of over 20 volunteers. While our backgrounds and talents vary, we are united by a singular mission: helping those in need.

Our Events

As our community grew, so did our ambitions. To keep the momentum going, we expanded our portfolio to include four signature annual events:

  • The Charity Cycling Challenge: Our flagship spin-a-thon.
  • Bowl-A-Rama: A high-energy bowling fundraiser.
  • Raise Your Glass: An ever-popular wine-tasting evening.
  • Swing Fore Special Olympics CT: Our annual golf tournament, established in 2013.

Since our inception, we have raised over $600,000 for more than 120 different charities and organizations.

The Charity Cycling Challenge, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity. We are a non-stock corporation planned and managed entirely by dedicated volunteers. Because of our status, all donations and contributions are 100% tax-deductible.
