Pedal For Papa
Celebrating Bonds. Promoting Sustainability.
A heartfelt tribute ride that brought families, memories, and climate action together on two wheels.
In every child’s heart lives a hero — and for many, that hero is their father.
Pedal for Papa, held in June 2025, was a unique cycling event organised by Avant Welfare Foundation to celebrate the enduring bond between father and child — while also raising awareness about the importance of sustainable transport in today’s world. The event saw overwhelming participation from families, school children and cycling enthusiasts across the city, all coming together to ride in memory or in honor of their fathers. With every pedal stroke, participants not only cherished personal memories but also contributed to the larger cause of climate consciousness and healthier urban living.
Why Pedal for Papa?
At its heart, Pedal for Papa was about connection — with our loved ones, with our memories and with the environment. In an increasingly fast-paced and polluted world, this initiative encouraged people to slow down, reflect and take action — all while choosing the bicycle as a symbol of clean, healthy and shared journeys.
The event highlighted:
The emotional value of honoring father figures in meaningful ways
The urgent need for greener, people-powered transportation
Community bonding through a simple, inclusive and impactful activity

Impact Beyond the Event
Pedal for Papa wasn’t just a one-day ride — it sparked conversations around how small changes, like switching to bicycles for short commutes, can make a meaningful difference for the planet. It also became a platform for sharing stories of resilience, love and legacy.
The event also helped raise awareness for Avant Welfare Foundation’s broader programs in environment, community health and family engagement.
