Friday, May 15th · 6:00 – 10:00 PM
The Cedar Room · Charleston, SC
This year's gala has one clear, powerful goal:
to raise the funds for 2,500 bikes
A massive milestone on our path to delivering 2,500 bikes across four bike reveals in 2026.
Each bike represents more than transportation. It represents freedom, confidence, joy, and possibility for a child who has been waiting far too long to feel them.
This gala is where momentum is built. Where generosity turns into impact. Where one extraordinary night fuels an entire year of transformation.
We're launching an epic year for Going Places and the children whose lives will be forever changed by your belief in their potential.

Every $175 gives a child their first ride.
