The Tour de Frederick was created in 2010 by the founder and publisher of Spokes Magazine, Neil Sandler, to bring the cycling community together for camaraderie and to showcase the beauty of Frederick County through scenic bicycle rides. As part of his philanthropic spirit, Neil invited The Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County (BGCFC) to participate through volunteer assistance and as the benefic
iary of the event proceeds. This is the largest fundraiser for the BGCFC, the premier youth development organization providing children with the highest quality programs and opportunities for success. The mission of the BGCFC is to enable all youth, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as responsible, productive, caring citizens. Tour de Frederick partnered with Rotary Club of Carroll Creek (RCCC) in 2016 to assist in the growth and development of the event.
