Live Violence Free, a local non-profit organization that provides services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, is hosting its first annual Pedals + Pints Block Party fundraiser on Sunday, August 6. 

LVF is turning up the heat on their fundraising efforts this summer and have announced a goal to raise $50,000 to power their mission for safer, more supportive, inclusive, violence-free communities.

“Live Violence Free has proudly served the communities of South Lake Tahoe and Alpine County for over 45 years. We invite the community to our new annual event, Pedals & Pints. Live Violence Free is branching out from our Gala tradition of years past, and moving in a more community-inclusive direction with our first annual Pedals & Pints fundraiser. Through local sponsorship, our Community Bike Ride, and Block Party at South Lake Brewing Company, we’re aiming to raise funds to power our mission for safer and stronger communities. We couldn’t do this work without our community support.” said Colin Croughan, Director of Development & Outreach, LVF
