6/5/2025
DETROIT, Mich. – June 5, 2025 – Pedal to Provide, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting food insecurity in metro Detroit, is excited to announce the 4th annual Stroll & Roll event, taking place on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at Hines Park in Westland, Michigan.
The Stroll & Roll is a non-competitive event that allows participants to choose between a 2, 6, or 12-mile walk, run, bike, or rollerblade through Hines Park. This year’s event will raise funds to directly benefit NOAH at Central, a community hub offering resources, support, and services to empower individuals and families in need in Detroit, Michigan.
Pedal to Provide is also proud to welcome Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist II, who will be attending this year’s Stroll & Roll to show his support for local efforts to fight food insecurity and promote community wellness.
Since 2022, Pedal to Provide has raised $40,000 to help end food insecurity, and aims to surpass this amount in 2025 with the help of our Stroll & Roll participants and sponsors. Participants raise funds by collecting pledges and donations.
“Stroll & Roll encourages healthy lifestyles and promotes the joy of giving back,” said Ed Gaines, Executive Director of Pedal to Provide. “We've seen firsthand how much fun it can be to raise money while participating in activities like cycling, running, and walking, and we're thrilled that our supporters share our passion for fighting food insecurity. We hope to surpass last year's fundraising efforts and make an even greater impact in our community.”
Participants should register in advance to participate at www.PedalToProvide.org. Registration is $35 and includes a t-shirt, raffle prize entry, and lunch.
