Rick Shoaf Memorial Ride

Join us on Saturday, April 25, for a special group ride on the Chester Valley Trail in memory of Richard “Rick” Shoaf, Swarthmore Fire & Protective Association member, volunteer first responder, and friend to many in our community. April 25 is Rick’s birthday, and we will honor him with a ride together on the trail he would have enjoyed.

Rick was known as the “Bike Man,” always helping people by picking up, repairing, and returning bicycles in and around Swarthmore. If he fixed your bike, this ride is for you.

All proceeds from this ride will benefit the Hero Scholarship Fund of Delaware County, supporting the families of fallen first responders.

First responders, volunteer firefighters, EMS, law enforcement, and community supporters are encouraged to participate.
