This year's ride is dedicated to Tad Borek who passed away recently.

The Borek family has always been great supporters of the Saints Peter and Paul community and also of this event. Martha asks that any memorial donations should be made to the two SSPP programs listed below (K-5 Art in Action or Laura Vicuna Pre-K)

Background

The St. Patrick's Day Massacre is an annual charity bike ride that began in 2013. The event has raised more than $125,000 for various San Francisco-based causes including the K-5 Art in Action and Laura Vicuna Pre-K programs at Saints Peter and Paul school, Burrito Project SF, and the SF-Marin Food Bank.

This year we're supporting 3 fundraisers:
