13th ANNUAL PEDAL PAST POVERTY

It is Partners for Housing's 40th year helping the Mankato community and beyond! 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What: Pedal Past Poverty is a charity event held by Partners for Housing located in Mankato, MN. Teams of 8 compete against each other in 15-minute intervals to raise money for the homeless population in and around the Mankato area. Prizes and fun are guaranteed to be had at this fun and high energy charity event!

Each team is responsible for raising $1,000 by the day of the event. Get creative with how you raise your funds! Host a bake sale, garage sale, or fundraise with a restaurant, the possibilities are endless! Your team also has the option to set up sponsors to "match your miles". For example, a sponsor can say they will donate $20 if you walk/bike a mile; don't forget to keep in mind that you will only have 15 minutes! Please note that there will be a team fee of $80 ($10 per person) upon registration to help teams meet their fundraising goal. 

When: February 22nd, 2025

Where: The Mankato YMCA @ 8am

 1401 S. Riverfront Drive Mankato, MN 56001

Theme: To celebrate 40 years of Partners for Housing supporting the Mankato community, this year's Pedal Past Poverty will have an 80's theme! Please consider wearing 80's attire on the day of the event. It is not required, however the team with the best 80's gear will get a prize!

INTERESTED IN WALKING INSTEAD?

Last year, we introduced a walking portion to our charity event, and it went extremely well. The feedback we received was fantastic, and many participants enjoyed the active and inclusive nature of the walk. We hope to see more families take advantage of this option this year, it's a great activity to keep the kiddos preoccupied while also raising money for a great cause! 

This year, we're thrilled to announce that we're offering this option again!  We're confident it will be even better this time around!

We hope you'll join us again and help make this year's event a huge success.
