Pedal on the Pier Raising money for the Harold Robinson Foundation
WHAT WE DO Pedal on the Pier, in association with Canyon Creek Summer Camp, is an outdoor philanthropy event with more than 100 stationary bikes on the Santa Monica Pier. 400 riders cycle for 4 hours with top cycling instructors and thousands of friends and family cheering them on! Teams of up to 5 people ride alone or relay-style throughout the day.
SIMPLY AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE The Pedal on the Pier event each year allows advanced cyclists and novice bikers to come together for a great cause while building their athleticism and test their endurance. Celebrity sightings and impromptu dance parties are just part of what makes this an unforgettable event. All of this excitement while raising money to support kids in need!
WHEN WE DO IT The Pedal on the Pier event takes place in May or June each year on the iconic Santa Monica Pier.
WHY WE DO IT The Harold Robinson Foundation was established based on the principle that each and every child deserves opportunities, no matter where they stand on the socioeconomic ladder. So far, Pedal on the Pier has raised over 2.8 million dollars since 2011. The Foundation provides funding and resources to send Los Angeles’s less fortunate children to Summer Camps and create a sense of purpose in each individual.
THE HAROLD ROBINSON FOUNDTION The mission has grown from the simple hope of allowing youths to experience camp for a weekend to investing in their futures, their families, their schools, and their communities. The Harold Robinson Foundation strives to create a sense of purpose and accomplishment in each individual, while working towards building communities through communication and support for schools and families.
CAMP UBUNTU Because it takes so many words in the English language to describe our foundation and the work we do, words like; family, love, hope, dream, unity, respect, and community, we have adopted the word, Ubuntu, a South African philosophy which translates to- I am because we are. Through Ubuntu, children learn that we must rely on and support each other in order to insure success as an individual, as a family, and as a community.
