SHiFT Cycling Organizes SHiFT for SARAH to Benefit SARAH Foundation on October 19 from 10 am - 2 pm

SHiFT Cycling is hosting an epic outdoor cycle-athon, SHiFT for SARAH, on October 19 from 10 am - 2 pm to benefit the SARAH Foundation. Thirty indoor cycling bikes will be brought outside under a tent for the team of SHiFT instructors to lead four rides to a live DJ, radio personality Cadillac John Saville. For every 45 minute ride, participants donate $100 to SARAH. Aside from the cycle-athon, it will be a fun day for all filled with your favorite food tucks, beer and refreshments, face painting, a silent auction and complimentary massages for riders.

“We were thrilled to partner with SARAH to put together this awesome fundraiser,” explained Jenn Kuehn, SHiFT Owner. “This summer SARAH participants came to SHiFT to take an indoor cycling class. Their smiles and sense of achievement made a huge impact on me and the other instructors. This is a great local cause, let’s have a little fun and raise some money as we SHiFT for SARAH.

Rides (or SHiFTs) are geared toward all ages and fitness levels, with the hopes that cycle-athon participants feel like they are at a “party on a bike”. In exchange for each 45 minute SHiFT, riders will donate $100. SHiFTs start on the hour (10 am, 11 am, noon and 1 pm) and participants can sign up for one, two, three or all four SHiFTs. Individuals are encouraged to create a teams for a $600 donation, essentially booking a bike for the entire event and having the flexibility to tag in and out of the rides with their teammates.

Family, friends and the community are encouraged to stop by the event and enjoy the music, food and activities. Kuehn added, “This will be a rockin’ event with something for everyone. Stop by and support the riders, grab a bite from your favorite food truck, listen to John Saville and his SHiFT playlist, and check out our amazing silent auction. It promises to be an epic day.”

“All of us at SARAH are honored and pleased that a new Guilford business, SHiFT Cycling, is supporting SARAH participants with the SHiFT for SARAH event. We know that Jenn Kuehn and the staff at SHiFT Cycling share in our mission to help SARAH participants live productive and fulfilling lives. Thank you so much for helping us “make independence possible,” said Denise Rose, SARAH Foundation Executive Director.
