2026 Santa Cruz Sunrise Rotary Ride - 29th Annual!

The Santa Cruz Sunrise Rotary Ride is a 3-day, 200-mile fully supported cycling adventure from the heart of Sonoma wine country, across the Golden Gate Bridge, and down the California coast to Santa Cruz. For 29 years, 100 riders have come together to raise money for kids and families who need it most — over $2,100,000 and counting. This is not a race. It's a community. Limited to 100 riders. Sells out every year. You don't have to ride to make a difference. Every dollar donated goes directly to our beneficiaries. 100%. No exceptions. Donate today and be part of 29 years of giving.

Food insecurity affects 1 in 4 children in Santa Cruz County. This pantry model meets families where they are — at their child's school — removing the barriers of transportation, stigma, and time that keep so many from accessing the support they need. Your support through the Rotary Ride is a direct investment in healthier, more food-secure futures for children and families right here in our community. Santa Cruz Children's Museum of Discovery (MOD) MOD is a hands-on learning playground inside Capitola Mall where kids explore, create, and discover through 5,000+ square feet of interactive exhibits. Your support helps ensure every child in Santa Cruz County — regardless of income — has access to the wonder and joy of early learning.
