Our overarching mission is to make a difference in the lives of others, while promoting a fit and healthy lifestyle.
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.
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.
We are always looking for new sponsors and participants to help us reach our next milestone. Whether you want to ride, bowl, golf, or partner with us, we would love to hear from you!
