Good Deeds Program: Commitment to Communities
The Good Deeds Program is a reflection of Uride's dedication to make a difference in the communities we serve. It's a platform for us to extend our reach beyond rideshares, contributing towards local charities, volunteering at local events, and fostering economic opportunities. Our goal is to build strong relationships with the communities we serve and contribute towards their growth.
Ride for a Reason Initiative: Making Every Ride Count
As part of the Good Deeds Program, the Ride for a Reason initiative pledges 10% of all Uride fares for a day to a local charity. We believe that our service should not only help people get around but also contribute to causes that matter. For the month of June, we have chosen to spotlight local Children's Soccer Organizations, channeling our contributions towards supporting young athletes.
Making an Impact: Uride Donations
Uride is proud to have made an impact on the future of soccer in our communities. We donated nearly $10,000 to the local children's soccer organizations across our cities. These funds will help these organizations continue their excellent work in providing young athletes with opportunities to develop their soccer skills, learn about teamwork, and foster a lifelong love of the sport. Our donation underlines our commitment to giving back to the community and supporting initiatives that enrich the lives of the younger generation.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our riders who participated in this initiative on June 19th. Your decision to ride with Uride directly contributed to making a meaningful impact in your community. We're grateful for your support and commitment to making a difference. Thank you!

A Cause Close To Home
At the core of Uride is our founder and CEO, Cody Ruberto. Before he took the wheel at Uride, Cody was a professional soccer player. He understands firsthand the incredible influence that sportsmanship and teamwork can have on a young person's development, and the importance of fostering a winning environment both on and off the field. This month's focus on children's soccer organizations isn't just a nod to our CEO's roots, it's a heartfelt tribute to the values we stand for as a company. Through this initiative, we're thrilled to give back to the sport that gave so much to Cody, and what continues to cultivate these values within our Uride team and communities.
We're incredibly proud to have been able to contribute to these amazing organizations. We encourage everyone in our communities to join us in our ongoing Good Deeds Program to drive change. By choosing to ride with Uride, you're not just getting from A to B - you're making a difference in your community.
