BIKE-A-THON/ANNUAL FUNDRAISER
LADC is a non-profit program. To maintain our non-profit status, we are required to run at least one fundraiser each year. The Bike-A-Thon/Family Festival celebrates families during a fun festival of free food, activities, bike-parade and more! Families. (Some locations join the school-partner fundraising/event in place of a bike-a-thon). Discovery Center families commit to $100 ($150 family max) to fulfill the fundraising requirement. The proceeds go toward Classroom Enrichment, Accreditation Criteria, Area Community Support Programs and the LADC Scholarship Fund, giving over $70,000 annually.

GiveMN launched in 2009 as a collaborative venture led by Minnesota Community Foundation and many other organizations committed to helping make our state a better place. To generate excitement, they organized “Give to the Max Day”. That spark touched off a blast of online giving- $14 million in 24 hours. Since that trial run in 2009, Give to the Max Day has become an annual tradition. Every year thousands of organizations raise money to improve the quality of life in Minnesota and communities around the world.
