TRANSCRIPT

Raising money for the Harold Robinson Foundation

400 riders cycle for 4 hours with top cycling

instructors and thousands of friends and family cheering

them on!

Pedal on the Pier, in association

with Canyon Creek Summer

Camp, is an outdoor

philanthropy event with more

than 100 stationary bikes on the

Santa Monica Pier.

Teams of up to 5 people ride alone or relay-style throughout the day.

SIMPLY AN AMAZING EXPERIENCEThe Pedal on the Pier

event each year allows advanced cyclists and novice bikers to come

together for a great cause while building their

athleticism and test their endurance.

Celebrity sightings and impromptu

dance parties are just part of what

makes this an unforgettable

event. All of this excitement while raising money to support

kids in need!

The Pedal on the Pier event takes place in May or June each year on the iconic Santa Monica Pier.

The Harold Robinson Foundation was

established based on the principle that each and

every child deserves opportunities, no matter where they stand on the socioeconomic ladder.

The Foundation provides funding and resources to send Los

Angeles’s less fortunate children to Summer Camps and

create a sense of purpose in each

individual.

So far, Pedal on the Pier has raised over 2.8 million dollars since 2011.

The mission has grown from the simple hope of allowing youths to experience camp for a weekend to investing in their futures, their

families, their schools, and their

communities.

The Harold Robinson Foundation strives to

create a sense of purpose and accomplishment in each individual, while

working towards building communities through communication and

support for schools and families.

CAMP UBUNTU

Because it takes so many words in the English language to describe our foundation and the work we do, words like; family, love, hope, dream, unity, respect, and community, we have adopted the word, Ubuntu, a South African philosophy which translates to- I am because we are. Through Ubuntu, children learn that we must rely on and support each other in order to insure success as an individual, as a family, and as a community.
