CHAFE 150 Gran Fondo

Let’s Help Them Learn for Life!

Did you know that 20% of graduating high school seniors nationally are functionally illiterate?

For nearly twenty years, CHAFE has helped local youth by contributing over $1 million to youth education programs. The CHAFE 150 ride continues its legacy of support for education in the greater Sandpoint community. 

For the 2025 ride, we're shifting our focus to an exciting new cause: the Every Student Graduates a Reader initiative to address literacy in our local community. This pivotal program focuses on developing literacy skills among students in the Lake Pend Oreille School District, equipping them for future success in school, their careers, and society. Through comprehensive literacy screenings and personalized instruction, we aim to build a solid foundation for life.

Ride with Purpose: 

The CHAFE 150 isn’t just about the breathtaking miles—it’s about pedaling towards transformative change. By participating, you’re playing a vital role in ensuring that local students are equipped with necessary skills to thrive. Let’s continue the CHAFE tradition of supporting youth education and making an enduring impact.
