The Volkswagen City of Angels Fun Ride is made possible through the generous support of its sponsors and community partners. Their contributions help ensure a successful event each year while benefiting the UCLA Blood and Platelet Center.
The City of Angels Fun Ride brings together cycling enthusiasts and community members for an event that blends active lifestyle with meaningful charitable support. Participants from all backgrounds gather to enjoy a day of movement, camaraderie, and fresh air while contributing to a cause that saves lives. The ride is designed to be accessible, offering routes that accommodate different skill levels so that everyone from casual riders to experienced cyclists can take part. Beyond the physical challenge, the event fosters a spirit of generosity and togetherness, reminding everyone that each mile pedaled helps strengthen the community. It is a celebration of health, purpose, and shared effort.
Volkswagen stands proudly as the presenting sponsor of this annual ride, demonstrating a long-standing commitment to community wellness and civic engagement. Their support helps cover essential event logistics, safety measures, and organizational costs that make the ride possible year after year. By partnering with local organizations and the UCLA Blood and Platelet Center, Volkswagen helps amplify the impact of every registration and donation. This collaboration reflects a shared belief that businesses can play a vital role in uplifting the regions they serve. Through this sponsorship, the company reinforces its dedication to building healthier, more connected communities through active, outdoor experiences.
The Pace Sportswear jersey has become a beloved tradition for riders participating in the City of Angels Fun Ride. Each year, the commemorative jersey features a fresh design that captures the energy and spirit of Los Angeles while providing cyclists with a comfortable, high-performance garment for the road. Riders wear their jerseys with pride during the event and long after, serving as ambassadors for the cause wherever they ride. The partnership with Pace ensures that participants receive quality apparel that enhances their experience. These jerseys also help create a visible, unified community of riders united by a common purpose.
The UCLA Blood and Platelet Center is the primary beneficiary of the City of Angels Fun Ride, and the funds raised directly support its life-saving work. Blood and platelet donations are essential for patients undergoing surgeries, cancer treatments, and emergency care, yet the need for donors remains constant. This event helps raise awareness about the importance of regular donation while generating financial support for the center’s operations and outreach efforts. Every rider, sponsor, and volunteer who contributes to the fun ride plays a part in ensuring that these critical resources remain available to those who need them most in the community.
