Biking to Benefit the Community: Introducing the Ride One, Give One Initiative

180704_RideOneGiveOne

In June, Atlanta United teamed up with Relay Bike Share to help promote a healthy, active, environmentally-friendly lifestyle all over the city, draping stations in 5-Stripes and then dipping bikes in red, black & gold for everyone to ride. Now the club is taking it one step further to benefit the community, but they need YOUR help. Introducing the Ride One, Give One program:


Every time you ride a red, black and gold Atlanta United Relay Bike, you are giving back to the YMCA of Metro Atlanta. The Atlanta United Foundation will match up to $2,000 a month that will provide soccer scholarships where no child is turned away for the inability to play.

The ATL is thriving, people are hungry for soccer, and the Foundation is committed to making the sport accessible and inclusive for all individuals in the city and across the state of Georgia. So help us celebrate 50 years of soccer at the YMCA of Metro Atlanta grow the community through the beautiful game by riding a 5-Stripe Atlanta United Relay Bike.


It’s as simple as 1, 2, 3:


1. Download the Relay Bike Share App (IOS | Android)


2. Pick a station on the map


3. Find a red, black, & gold Atlanta United bike to ride!


In addition to helping the community, every time you ride, you could also earn prizes! Enter here for a chance to win.

Thanks to all those who have supported the program, ride through the city and continue to promote an active lifestyle for the city. For more information on the Ride the Stripes initiative and go to https://www.atlutd.com/ridethestripes
