Our 23rd Annual Kent Bike/Hike Event for Cerebral Palsy Research is Sat., June 3, 2017, and we need individuals to spread the word!
We utilize a combination of social, broadcast, and print media to inform area residents about the event and how to donate and volunteer.
Even if you don't have a background in media, you can still help share our content and post our flyers!
Since we are an all-volunteer non-profit organization, about 85% of funds raised have benefitted cerebral palsy research. We have surpassed our original goal of $1 million, and now we are aiming for $2 million!
Pedal-with-Pete was founded by longtime Kent resident and Kent State graduate, Peter Zeidner.

Mission Statement
The Pedal with Pete Foundation is a philanthropic organization, dedicated to raising funds for research to improve the quality of life for persons with cerebral palsy.
Description
In 1993, the Pedal-With-Pete Foundation was established to raise money for research to help prevent, treat, and even cure the effects of cerebral palsy. The Pedal-with-Pete Foundation annually moderates three charity cycling and walking events in the midwest:
Kent, Ohio
Columbus, Ohio
Emmetsburg, Iowa
With the dollars we raise, we award grants to researchers from around the world who do ground-breaking work to improve the lives of people with CP. Our grants range from $25,000 to $35,000, and tend to be seed-funding that might lead to larger grants by organizations like the NIH or CDC. Our grants are vital for kick-starting promising efforts that will really change lives.
As an all-volunteer organization, your time volunteering for Pedal-with-Pete is GREATLY appreciated by the participants, the researchers, and especially, by the millions of people worldwide who benefit from the research you help to fund!
