Bergen Family Promise – Hike for Hope 2025
Bergen Family Promise – Hike for Hope 2025
On Sunday, May 4th, members of St. Mark’s Godspeed/Team ADAM will gather on Van Neste Square in Ridgewood, N.J. for the 30th annual Family Promise of Bergen County Hike for Hope to help raise money and awareness for working families experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity.
The event, formerly known as “Bike Bergen” and the “Hike or Bike” has been a staple of the community for decades, and St. Mark’s team is a long-standing tradition in the parish. Our team is now named “Team Adam” for Adam Rosignolo who was its energetic leader for years. We lost Adam at a young age in 2013 and continue to lace up and walk in his memory. The event is an easy stroll through the quiet streets of Ridgewood, beginning and ending at Van Neste Square in the middle of the village.
- 11:30 – registration tables open
- 12:30 – announcements and warmups
- 1:00 – walk begins
We are looking for walkers, bikers, strollers and generous givers to make this year’s campaign another success. To donate or join our team, please visit our team page.
