Team Foster’s “Ruff Ride Philly” 24-Hour Spin Fundraiser

Team Foster, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit that has raised over $2 million to provide life-saving, highly trained, accredited service dogs for injured and disabled Veterans, will host its marquee “Ruff Ride Philly” event on May 31st, 2025 at the 23rd Street Armory. The 8th annual spin fundraiser will draw hundreds of participants who raise hundreds of thousands of dollars by taking turns pedaling for a purpose on stationary bikes in a heart-pumping 24-hour challenge. Riders and spectators can also enjoy live entertainment, carnival games, a puppy photo booth with service dogs in training, a food truck, instructor-led competitions and a midnight “glow ride.” Every dollar raised will go directly to funding Team Foster’s vital mission. 

Anyone can ride, volunteer or cheer on cyclists. Participants can join as a team or individually and can ride for as little or as long as they want – five minutes, five hours or more. Join or create a team, sign up to volunteer or find more information at RuffRide.org/Philadelphia.
