Welcome to the PMC Littleton Kids Ride!

On Sunday, June 6, 2010, Littleton will be hosting its second annual PMC Kids Ride! Last year, our 140 riders raised around $10,000. This year, we have room for more riders and are hoping to raise $15,000 to support The Jimmy Fund!
 
The event will once again be held in the parking lot of IBM (550 King Street, Littleton, MA) from 8:00am – 12:00pm. Kids age 3 – 13 years are invited to participate in one of our three closed loop courses. There will be a “Tykes on Trikes” Obstacle Course for our youngest, young, three wheeled riders, and a short, circular loop for novice cyclists, or those on training wheels. Our older, more advanced riders will face a more challenging course on the campus. Riders will ride the loops as many times as they determine to reach their personal goals.
 
We are thrilled to once again have Pedal Power mechanics on site checking helmets and bikes for safety. There will be entertainment throughout the event, including a bike decorating area, face painting, a DJ and dancing, raffle prizes and snacks. Last year’s ride was a blast, and we are looking forward to a repeat performance this year!
 
Registration is $10 per rider, and includes a t-shirt and water bottle; there is no additional fundraising obligation. With respect to the PMC’s mission of raising money for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund, we do suggest a minimum fundraising goal of $25 per rider. A cool part about the PMC Kid’s ride is its ability to engage kids in philanthropy-the PMC encourages kids to raise funds on their own. Be it through letters to friends and family or via a lemonade stand-kids are encouraged to get involved!!
 
New this year: The PMC is offering a Heavy Hitters program for its kid’s ride riders. Kids who raise at least $250 will receive a baseball cap and additional recognition from the PMC. It’s a great incentive for some of our more ambitious fundraisers!

Logistics:
Shirts, water bottles, and rider numbers will be available for pick up prior to the ride, Friday, June 4 after 2 and Saturday, June 5 from 9-3.  Address will be mailed to registered riders.
The day of the ride, registration opens at 8:00am for anyone who cannot stop by to pick up their shirts, etc. beforehand.

All riders are required to have their bikes and helmets checked for safety and Pedal Power will be on site to do this! Come early to avoid the lines! The ride will begin promptly at 9:15, following a brief opening ceremony. The ride routes will close at 10:30, at which time folks are invited to decorate bikes, dance/enjoy the DJ, and grab a bite to eat.

Please note: entrance to the ride is off of Route 119; please do not enter the grounds from other avenues. Thanks!!
