Support LUK, Inc. in the Rodman Ride for Kids
Fitchburg – LUK, Inc. is proud to announce their 13th consecutive year participating in the Rodman Ride for Kids. The event is run by Rodman for Kids, a nonprofit that raises funds for social service organizations supporting positive youth development. The Ride for Kids serves as a fundraising & convening platform for youth-focused initiatives and helps support thousands of kids in Massachusetts each year. This year’s Ride is being held on Saturday, September 23rd in Foxboro, MA.
LUK’s Mentoring program is enthusiastic to be joining the Rodman Ride again this year. Through the Ride, LUK Mentoring is able to support kids throughout Worcester County with formal mentoring. Mentoring provides youth age 6-17 with the opportunity to learn new skills, partake in new activities and experiences, and to have a caring, listening ear from a positive role model outside their immediate family and network.
“LUK’s Mentoring Program provides children and youth with an adult who sees beyond their struggles and into their heart,” said CEO of LUK, Beth Barto, who will be setting aside her running shoes to cycle 25 miles in the Ride. “The bond Mentors make with young people travel with them in the future.”
LUK is collaborating with the Leominster Texas Roadhouse to hold a fundraiser on September 21st from 3:00pm-9:30pm to support their participation in the Rodman Ride. Texas Roadhouse will donate 10% of the proceeds of food sales to LUK Mentoring when guests present the fundraiser flyer that can be found on LUK Mentoring’s Facebook Event page, or through this link: bit.ly/LUK-TR-Fundraiser.
You can help support LUK Mentoring’s involvement in the Ride not only by joining them at the Texas Roadhouse fundraising event, but by riding with them, sponsoring a team, or making a donation. Learn more at LUK’s website: bit.ly/LUKRodmanRide23 or the Facebook Event “Ride with LUK Mentoring at the Rodman Ride for Kids 2023.”
