Ride for the Living (RFTL) was created by JCC Krakow to commemorate the 60-mile journey that liberated Jews walked from Auschwitz-Birkenau to Krakow, Poland. Participants from around the world gather in Poland to take part in this symbolic bike ride following their same journey to honor Holocaust victims and the rebirth of the Jewish community in Krakow. This beloved program returns to the J on Tuesday, June 25, with a full day of special fitness programs, ending with a fun-filled reception.
For more information about RFTL fitness events, please contact Elsie Bennett at [email protected]. If you are interested in volunteering at any of our RFTL events, please contact Anneleise Thompson at [email protected]. For questions about fundraising and donating, please contact Kevin Giser at [email protected].
