Despite the rain and the unfortunate need to cancel the motorcycle and bicycle rides, thanks to generous sponsors, donors and participants the COBYS annual Bike & Hike raised the second highest amount in the event’s 26 year history.
Thanks to early donors, the Kickstart Fund met and exceeded the goal of $25,000, reaching a total over $26,000, providing a solid footing for the event where over $160,000 was donated and pledged to help COBYS continue to offer services with compassion, dignity and hope – the COBYS Difference.
Together, we are making a life-altering difference in the lives of the kids and families we serve.
You can fulfill your Bike & Hike pledge by credit card here. Please choose Bike & Hike from the Gift Designation options and also provide the person/family being sponsored under the Additional Comments section. Thank you for your gift!
Lititz Church of the Brethren
The Bike & Hike is being held (it is a rain or shine event), however, we regret that we are canceling the motorcycle and bike portions. The forecast of almost certain rain throughout the day and safety concerns warrants canceling those portions of the event out of an abundance of caution.

What to enjoy at the Bike & Hike
For our 26th Bike & Hike, we continue the time honored and appreciated bicycle and motorcycle rides and the walk through beautiful Lititz, PA. But to sweeten the event we’ve decided to kick up the ice cream social with a bigger and better Incredible Ice Cream Celebration! Come see and taste the delicious changes.
What’s better than ice cream? More ice cream and more toppings! COBYS is piling on when it comes to ice cream at the Bike & Hike this year. We introduce the new and improved Incredible Ice Cream Celebration. Create a delicious dairy dessert made with Fox Meadows vanilla and/or chocolate ice cream and your choice of toppings. What a great way to celebrate you and COBYS!

Seeing how our family has gathered around to love and support our foster son and us has been very satisfying. We would like to adopt, if possible, but even if that does not happen, to provide a safe place to children who need it is a one way we serve the kingdom of God. – COBYS Resource Parents Eric and Rita
