THIRD Annual Pastor Jim Keegan Memorial Bike Ride
Join us on April 26, 2025 for the Third Annual Pastor Jim Keegan Bike Ride on the Withlacoochee Trail starting in Inverness, Florida. The ride celebrates the life of Pastor Jim Keegan who loved riding on the Withlacoochee Trail. Last year we contributed $33,700 back into communities through gifts and matching donations. Help us give even more this year!

Combined, this is a $33,700 impact from Jim’s Ride! Thank you to everyone who participated. Keep an eye open for next year’s date. My prayer at the very beginning of the project was that God would do more than we could ever ask or imagine. And He did, and He’s not done yet. Help us make an even bigger impact in 2025!
