Fifth Third Bike the Drive is produced by and benefits Active Transportation Alliance. We are a small but mighty 18-person non-profit that works to improve walking, biking, and public transit. Our work spans across Illinois and sometimes into neighboring states. We started Bike the Drive over two decades ago and the event has grown into our centerpiece fundraiser. We are ecstatic that the event is now a household name here in Chicagoland.
We are so thankful to our title sponsor, Fifth Third Bank.
