Ride For Clean Energy
Fundraising for The Tyler Lewis Clean Energy Research Foundation
The Ride for Clean Energy was an annual charity ride founded in 2012 that fundraised money for The Tyler Lewis Clean Energy Research Foundation. After 10 annual rides, and fundraising over $180,000 for clean energy research, the Ride for Clean Energy had its final ride in 2022. Determined to keep the spirit of Tyler’s advocacy for sustainability alive and continue to fund clean energy research, three of Tyler’s friends, Eric Rush and Carl & Sean McBeath, have started The 24 Hour Ride For Clean Energy. The first 24 Hour Ride For Clean Energy took place on August 13th 2023 and you can learn more about it at 24hour.rideforcleanenergy.com
