Bike to Pepperdine
The Story
20+ Years ago, a group of Gammas at Abilene Christian University decided to do the unthinkable- a 1400+ mile bike relay charity event from their school in Abilene, TX to Pepperdine in Malibu, CA. This feat was ingrained in the club’s history and was repeated as a tradition a few times throughout the early 2000s. As the years went on, the fated trip slowly became a memory… that is until 2025 when some motivated seniors in Gamma Sigma Phi decided it was finally time to bring the bike ride back. Follow along on our journey as we raise money for Greater than Three Outreach and the Pepperdine Strong Fund through biking.
The Charities
-
Greater Than Three Outreach
The mission of Greater Than Three is to offer hope and independence to those who have suffered from a traumatic mobility injury such as a spinal cord injury or amputation. This Abilene charity funds sports chairs for individuals who want to find new ways to move within the arena of sport (basketball, pickleball, cycling, running).
-
Pepperdine Strong Fund
The Malibu fires have taken a toll on individuals across Pepperdine’s campus. Your generosity will help alleviate the financial burdens of evacuation costs, travel interruptions, and other urgent needs, allowing Pepperdine students, staff, and faculty to focus on their recovery while starting the semester during this difficult time.
