Think Outside Children's Charity was founded with the vision to provide a better life for children in our communities who are in need of life-saving or life-enhancing treatments and procedures. One truth must be told however, its not just the lives of children and their families who are impacted but ours are too, particularly the riders and volunteers who choose to be a part of the annual cycling event, The Bear Pa Challenge. Our mission is to show them the good will...

The Founder's began the BearPa Challenge desiring to make a tangible difference in the lives of kids. Conceived as a family undertaking, this dream has quickly spread through an immediate corps of volunteers including neighbors, friends, local businesses and even now even volunteers from their corporate sponsors!

No one at Think Outside Children's Charity receives compensation for the time and energy they give... from the founders, to the web design team, ride support, medical personnel, and mechanics, everyone is a volunteer.

Currently our primary beneficiary is a carefully selected volunteer organization called Shriner's Hospital for Children. They are a well known organization offering world class care to children who otherwise would not have access to essential care. Care that will enable them a better life, and in some cases offer life itself.

Never losing sight of why we began, where we are going and who will be impacted, Think Outside Children's Charity is dedicated to facilitate meaningful experiences on every level, and we hope to see you join the cause this year, and ride for the kids!
