The Paul Anderson Youth Home is a nonprofit organization committed to transforming the lives of young men facing serious challenges, including incarceration. Through your support, we are able to create lasting change and offer hope for a brighter future.
We are honored to host the 21st Annual Paul Anderson Bike Ride, taking place July 18–24, 2026.
During this week-long journey, the young men of the Home will ride more than 500 miles along a challenging route beginning at the PAYH campus in Vidalia, Georgia. This event is both a physical and personal milestone, representing discipline, perseverance, and growth.
For more than two decades, the Paul Anderson Bike Ride has commemorated a defining moment in the organization’s history. In 1961, our founder, Olympic gold medalist Paul Anderson, cycled 1,200 miles from Vidalia, Georgia to Omaha, Nebraska to raise awareness and support for the mission. Today, that same mission continues as young men follow in his footsteps—raising funds and awareness while pursuing transformation through Christ.
More than 65 years later, the Paul Anderson Youth Home celebrates nearly 1,500 lives changed through a process of recovery, restoration, and redemption.
Each rider participates with the support of sponsors, helping to generate critical funding that sustains the programs and services provided by the Home. Their journey is a powerful reflection of the life change taking place within each young man.
We invite you to be part of this meaningful effort.
Your support not only empowers these young men but also strengthens our ability to provide essential resources, guidance, and opportunities for those in need. Together, we can make a lasting impact.
Join us in changing lives.
Thank you for your generosity and continued support.
