• Fayeton Orphanage, Gonaives, Haiti - Solar power for orphanage campus 
• 4KIDs of South Florida - Foster care programs for modern-day orphans (abused and neglected children)

The second ride in 2014 brought together more cyclists and volunteers and increased the raised funds by over 50% with Place of Hope at the Leighan and David Rinker Campus as the local charity. 

Ride 4 Orphans was started in 2013 to raise funds to support orphan projects at our SRC church plant locations in Chad, Malawi, Haiti and local foster care organizations (4KIDS of South Florida and Place of Hope at the Leighan and David Rinker Campus).

To date, over 1,1000 riders have participated.
