Support UCPIE’s Adaptive Bike Program for Children with Special Needs

Join us in making a difference! UCPIE (United Cerebral Palsy of the Inland Empire) is proud to sponsor the Adaptive Bike Program, which provides custom-built bicycles designed to meet the unique needs of children with special needs. These bikes are more than just a mode of transportation—they bring joy, freedom, and a sense of independence to these incredible kids.

So far, several children have already experienced the life-changing gift of these adaptive bicycles. But we need your help to keep going! Support Team Freedom in their mission to raise funds and give more children the opportunity to ride and thrive.

Your donation will directly help fund the construction and delivery of these specialized bicycles. Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to our goal of empowering more children to experience the joy of riding a bike tailored to their needs.

Annual charity cycling event in downtown Palm Springs

The Tour de Palm Springs in Coachella Valley is a charity event started in 1998 when Tim Esser cycled from Palm Springs California to Jacksonville, Florida, raising money for local charities. Today, the Tour de Palm Springs is one of the largest events of its kind in America. Up to 30,000 spectators will visit our event located in world famous downtown Palm Springs while cyclists ride between 5 & 100 miles.  Every year the event entertains a diverse group of 5,000 to 10,000 cyclists from 46 different states and 4 countries. Since 1998 the Tour de Palm Springs charity event has distributed nearly $4,000.000.00 to over 150 local nonprofit organizations.
