What an unforgettable day! This year’s Ben to the Shore Bike Tour brought together more than 2,000 cyclists, dedicated volunteers, and a community of supporters who helped raise an astounding $1.4 million for Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation.
A Ride with Meaning
From the starting line to the shore, the ride was about so much more than the miles. Riders of all ages and skill levels came together with one mission,
honoring fallen first responders and supporting their families. The 65-mile route was alive with encouragement, camaraderie, and the spirit of pushing forward for a cause greater than ourselves.
Powered by Volunteers
While the cyclists took on the open road, an incredible team of volunteers kept the wheels turning behind the scenes. From early morning check-ins to water stops and finish line cheers, they brought heart, energy, and organization to every detail. Their support ensured that the experience was safe, seamless, and inspiring for all involved.
Lasting Impact
Every dollar raised goes directly toward programs that provide critical assistance to the families of fallen and injured first responders. Thanks to the generosity shown this year, countless families will receive vital resources and support when they need it most. The ride may last a day, but the impact will last far longer.
Our Thanks to You
This success wouldn’t be possible without our riders, volunteers, sponsors, and donors. Together, you’ve shown what happens when a community unites for a purpose, real change, real hope, and real impact. To view photos from the day visit: ben2shore.org/Race/Photos/PA/Philadelphia/TheBentotheShore
