In 2022, Dave Bartz and Rich Farkas came up with a plan to aid nonprofit organizations by doing something they love. They rode over 200 miles in 2023, 2024, and 2025 (for a total of 600+ miles!) to help families in crisis who arrive at Dayspring Center.

They continue to amaze us again with this year’s DAVE, RICH, AND FRIENDS RIDE FOR HOPE 2026, as they recognize Dayspring’s 40th Anniversary and raise funds for families in need. 

Dave, Rich, and Friends are embarking on a 100-mile ride on the Indiana Cardinal Greenway Rail Trail on September 19 to raise funds for Dayspring. Every mile helps provide hope for a hungry child, a parent facing crisis, and a family searching for safe shelter.
