About Rock the Ride JH 2024

HOW IT WORKS:

Step 1 - Register a BIKE TEAM or join one

  • Start or join a team of up to 6 people.
  • Each team has one bike.
  • It costs nothing to register, but a minimum of $900 per bike must be raised by 3.11.22 to check in for Rock the Ride by 4:00pm (minimum $150 per person if team is full at 6 participants). 
  • Pick a Team name to get started, just know you can change your name as many times as needed. Do not let this step hold you back!
  • Each team will ride hard (or hardly ride) for a total of four hours. Teams can divide up the riding time among their team members however they choose.
  • Want to RIDE more? Less people on your team is the answer! The minimum $900 per bike still required.

OR...

Step 1 - Register a CHEER SQUAD or join one

  • Start or join a CHEER SQAUD of up to 5 people.
  • This team has NO bike, but can make the same impact.
  • It costs nothing to register, but a minimum of $500 per Team must be raised by 3.11.22 to check in for Rock the Ride by 4:00pm.
  • Perfect for those who do not want to RIDE, younger teams looking to get involved, or those who simply do not want a home base during the event (the BIKE). CHEER SQUADS cheer on friends and neighbors, provide energy for the room as they dance, party, sing their way through Rock the Ride. 

Step 2 - Raise Mad Cash

  • Sure, we give you an attainable minimum, but this is for an amazing cause so AIM HIGH! Funds raised from Rock the Ride benefit local stroke and cardiac patients at St. John’s Health.
  • The per person and team minimums are attainable and most people crush this out of the gate. And that is the goal!
  • Not sure how to fundraise? Never fear! The Rock On Society Fundraising Team will provide easy, fun and creative ways for you to fundraise through your social outlets, email and more leading up to the event.                     
  • Teams have until Sunday, March 11th at 4:00pm to raise the minimum but also EXCEED IT!

Step 3 – Plan  

  • Get creative with your team theme/costume (from the elaborate to simple matching tee-shirts). The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it.
  • Prizes will be awarded to the teams with the highest fundraising total, most spirit, best costumes, highest mileage and more.

Step 4 - Ride, Dance, Party!

  • Join us on Saturday, March 11th at the Virginian Lodge for the 6th Annual Rock the Ride. Arrive between 3:45-4:30pm to check-in, rally with your team, choose your bike, decorate your bike, purchase raffle tickets to win amazing prizes, grab some snacks, GET PUMPED UP.

  • LET'S DO THIS: Rock the Ride starts at 5:00pm!

STROKE & CARDIAC ISSUES CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE AT ANY AGE

It was 2006 and Rock the Ride creator and Rock on Founder, Julie Guttormson was 31 years old and had lived in Jackson for only a year. Her world changed that year forever when she suffered a stroke from three blood clots in different, major veins of her brain. Julie was lucky enough to walk away healthy and have great health insurance to back up her experience. Because not everyone has the same fortunate outcome, Rock the Ride was born as Julie’s personal way to celebrate health, give back to the community and celebrate another year in business (2023 marks VIM fitness studios 11th anniversary).

From 2012-2020, Rock the Ride proudly raised over $300k for local stroke and cardiac patients through St. John’s Health Foundation. 100% of those funds helped patients blindsided by the cost of their experience. Thanks to the support of SJHF, Julie was able to bring her vision to life for five, impactful years.  It was because of this success, the nonprofit Rock On Society, Rock the Ride will continue to grow with vim and vigor and continue help change lives right here in our own community and beyond.

HAVE FUN, MAKE A DIFFERENCE

ROCK THE RIDE is a memorable evening of community, camaraderie and connection. This team indoor cycling event (ride hard or hardly ride), magical entertainment, dancing, singing - a night to let go, have fun and be YOU. And all for a cause! 

Rock the Ride benefits local stroke and cardiac patients blindsided by the cost of their experience and recovery. Funds raised for the 3.11.23 event will benefit patients receiving care at St. John's Health through the SJHF Stroke and Cardiac Care Fund

Thank you for your support!
