About the event
Guardians of the Children, Gastonia Presents: The 2026 Spring CAPA Ride
Join us for our bi-annual "Child Abuse Prevention & Awareness" ride!
This year we're also riding in memory of Hippy and Scarecrow: lost but never forgotten. Their legacy lives on in the countless lives they touched. Their relentless pursuit of a better world for children serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, love and courage can prevail. As we continue the fight against child abuse, we honor their memory by carrying forward the mission they believed in and striving to create a brighter future for all children.
