“This bike ride is a team effort to raise funds and awareness for 3 super organizations that help many children, adults, and families as well as making great moments for them! I want to motivate children at my Club for more fitness and zeal to see a bigger world.”
-Bob DeAngelo "Everyone needs a hand at times--family, friends, neighbors and colleagues help us along our way. However, children, those with health issues, and the disabled need others to make it through. Along with my sons and friends, I am excited to undertake this fundraising effort for three great charities that provide critical support for others." -David M. Platter “BuddyUpBikeRiders is about working towards an ambitious goal and as a team accomplishing something that can profoundly affect the lives of children in need.” -David A. Platter "The ride across the country may not always be easy but knowing we are doing it for three great causes will keep me motivated." -Brian Platter "The BuddyUpBikeRide got me excited to join this group of like-minded individuals coming together in a monumental challenge to do something simple: Cycling across this beautiful country, one mile at a time, to bring together children in need of love and care and those willing to step up and make a difference." -Joe Profaci |

The mission of the Boys and Girls Club is to provide “A Positive Place For Kids.” We enable children, ages 6 – 18, to realize their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens by promoting high-quality educational programs. These afterschool programs build a sense of character and citizenship, maintain diversity, and offer kids a safe, nurturing, and affordable environment to succeed.
