From the Organizer
Join us on Sunday, August 30, 2026 for the Hope Echoes on the River Charity Bike Ride supporting CASA Kane County. Choose from three scenic routes—10 miles, 35 miles, or 65 miles—all culminating at the historic Kane County Courthouse.
Whether you're an avid cyclist or a casual rider, your participation helps us ensure that every child in the foster care system has a safe, nurturing, and permanent home.
CASA Kane County advocates for the best interests of children in the foster care system. CASAs, court-appointed special advocates, are trained and serve as a child's voice and the judge's eyes and ears throughout the duration of their case in juvenile court. CASAs become the crucial voice of a child in abuse and neglect cases. They are relied upon most importantly, by the children.
Our goal is to raise $250,000, and with your help, we can achieve it. Ride with us and make a difference in a child's life today. All proceeds from registration go directly to CASA Kane County.
Once you’ve crossed the finish line, enjoy the post-ride celebration! We’ll have a variety of local food trucks and vendors ready to help you refuel and celebrate your achievement with the community.
