An event from Ride and Roll KC and Draque's Barber Shop
Kansas City, September 28th— At Ride and Roll KC, our mission is clear: We aim to inspire youth to embrace the outdoors and lead active, healthy lives. This September, we’re not just donating one hundred bikes; we’re creating a movement. Whether it’s riding to school, exploring local trails, or just enjoying a day in the park, these bikes are tickets to freedom and fitness for kids across Kansas City
But why stop there? Our vision of community is inclusive. Whether you roll on a bike, glide on a skateboard, or pedal a tricycle, you’re part of us. That’s why we’re inviting everyone in our community to join us on September twenty-eighth for a grand community ride. It’s more than a ride; it’s a celebration of movement, a showcase of solidarity, and a commitment to a healthier, more connected community.
