The Kelberman Pedal for Autism event, recently held at Woods Valley Ski Area in Westernville, New York, raised $72,000 for support and services for children, adults and families at Kelberman. Thank you to Lead Sponsor Adirondack Bank, Platinum Sponsors Fiber Instrument Sales, Ford, English Financial Group and The Mario and Donna Rocci Charitable Fund and to all other sponsors, volunteers, community partners and donors. Thank you also to our amazing riders and to the more than 60 members of our “cheer squad” who made this event such a success.
Pedal for Autism is an 8, 16 or 24-mile charity bike ride (not a race!) that is an enjoyable way to spend a morning riding to help raise funding for children, adults and their families who receive Kelberman services. People new to riding are welcome and encouraged to register for this fun, family-friendly, no pressure ride. Save the Date for Pedal for Autism 2025 on Sunday, September 14th!
