Pumpkin Pedaler Foundation

The Pumpkin Pedaler Foundation is an Ohio-based public charity operating under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. We believe in exciting, enjoyable, local events that support community and raise awareness and money for autism cycling programs for children. Our signature event is the Pumpkin Pedaler Bicycle Poker Run, held annually on Halloween Weekend. The picturesque late fall tour will take pedalers through Columbus where they collect cards at local restaurants and businesses in five of the best undiscovered neighborhoods in the Capital City. The best poker hand at the end of the tour will win the Grand Prize. This year, the Pumpkin Pedaler’s proceeds benefit Autsim Speaks.

The Pumpkin Pedaler Bicycle Poker Run is hosted by Ichabod Pedaler, our (fictional) fearless leader. Ichabod Pedaler is the decedent of Ichabod Crane, the famous anti-hero of Washington Irving’s short story, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” Be sure to follow Ichabod on Twitter (@PumpkinPedaler) to get the latest updates from the team.
