“I have ridden charity events all around the world but Best Buddies truly impressed me. They produce perhaps the safest, smoothest and, best-organized events I’ve ever ridden.”
– Alberto Contador, Multiple Grand Tour Winner
WHY WE RIDE
Funds raised through the Best Buddies Challenges, Camps, and Club benefit Best Buddies International – the largest organization dedicated to ending the social, physical and economic isolation of the 200 million people worldwide with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Our programs empower people with IDD to form meaningful friendships with their peers, secure jobs, improve communication and advocacy skills, and live independently, while also offering support for their families.
The IDD community that Best Buddies serves individuals with IDD and their families. The IDD community includes, but is not limited to, people with Down syndrome, autism, Fragile X, Williams syndrome, and other undiagnosed disabilities.
