Chosen charity ­ Bridges For Music / Langa Township Music School

For the first year challenge RA have decided to support Bridges For Music, a charity rooted in the belief that music has the power to positively impact those less fortunate than us with sustainable initiatives. Specifically, RA want to help Bridges For Music in their bid to build a music school in Soweto, a township just outside of Cape Town in South Africa.

We believe in electronic music to bridge gaps, inspire people and enhance opportunities in disadvantaged areas across the world.

Bridges For Music mission statement :

Through the combined efforts of RA staff, artists, sponsors and our friends, we’re hoping to create the opportunity for children in the townships to be a part of a world that we treasure so much, and to create a self­sustaining legacy that will facilitate opportunities for future generations.

100% of donations go to the cause

In agreement with Bridges For Music, all funds donated to the RA cycle will go directly to the school project. None of it will be allocated to administrative costs of the charity. This, coupled with the fact that RA will be covering all the logistical costs associated with the cycle for every rider, ensures that 100% of every euro raised will go directly towards building the school.

Project partners

RA is proud to ride alongside the following partners who will donate time, money and cyclists to the cause: ADE / SONOS / NATIVE INSTRUMENTS / PIONEER / FUDGES CYCLE STORE
