GEAR UP FLORIDA

May 22 - May 23

GEAR UP FLORIDA 2024

Since 1997, over 500 Pi Kappa Phi men have participated in Gear Up Florida.  Gear Up Florida was created with one mission in mind: to reach out to as many people as possible across the state of Florida, spreading a message of acceptance and understanding on behalf of people with disabilities.

THE JOURNEY: MIAMI – TALLAHASSEE | 15 DAYS | 950 MILES

One state, countless memories. This 950-mile cycling event kicks off on the shores of Miami, travels through the Florida orange fields, reaches the Gulf Coast, passes through Orlando, comes back to the Atlantic coast in Jacksonville and culminates at the State Capitol in Tallahassee. The team spreads a message of acceptance and understanding to communities in Florida through newspapers, radio and television, civic groups and community leaders, reaching millions of people annually.

This year, Challenge Enterprises will be hosting 50 Gear Up Florida cyclists and crew members over two days.  Club Challenge, the Adult Day Training Program and Gear Up Florida will share an exciting experience at Camp Chowenwaw Park, thanks to the Greiner Family Foundation’s support.  All guests will enjoy a meal from the Rollin Stoves followed by a field day at the park. It’s a celebration of inclusion and camaraderie that everyone looks forward to year after year.
