It's time for Cranksgiving Tampa 2024! We'll be back at the wonderful Coppertail Brewing for our 13th annual event. We can't wait to see you there!__________________________________
WHAT IS CRANKSGIVING?
Cranksgiving is a bicycle scavenger hunt and food drive, and these events take place across the nation during the month of November to benefit local charities as they prepare for Thanksgiving. The 13th edition of Cranksgiving Tampa will continue to benefit Metropolitan Ministries.
So far, Cranksgiving Tampa has donated more than 19,400 total pounds of food, including 554 frozen turkeys, to Metropolitan Ministries. For the first time in 2023, we finally donated a "ton" of food - not only that, we crushed that goal by donating 2,231 pounds. This year we'll be crossing a major threshold - so don't miss out as the event surpasses 20,000 pounds of food donated over the years!
We'll also be having a raffle again - all of our raffle proceeds will continue to go to Reach St. Pete, which was founded in 2016 with the goal of bridging the gap between people and the resources they need to help prevent and alleviate homelessness, low-income, and at-risks situations. Reach is still operating without a physical location after being forced to vacated their rented home in 2023 due to mold, so every little bit we can give will help them further their mission. We've donated $9,600 to local charities through our raffle.
THE BASICS
There is no entry fee for Cranksgiving Tampa, but please bring money to purchase food items during the scavenger hunt (approx. $15-$20). You will need to decide if you are riding in a team or on your own. You will be provided a list of food items to purchase, as well as specific grocery stores around Tampa where you'll be riding to in order to buy those items.
Riders are encouraged to wear helmets and bring bike locks and a bag to carry your purchases. After the results are tallied, all of the food is immediately delivered to the Metropolitan Ministries holiday tent just outside downtown Tampa for donation.
SPONSORS
We could not put on this event without the gracious support of both local businesses and national brands. If you or someone you know would like to help us with prizes or raffle items, please contact host Allison Avoy or message our page.
