Biking for a Cause: Celebrating Our Partnership with the FOP and Looking Ahead to May

At Savannah Bike Tours, we believe that the best way to honor our city’s history is by supporting the people who protect its future. Every month, we select a local organization to receive a portion of our tour proceeds, allowing our guests to contribute to the Savannah community simply by hopping on a bike.

Today, we are thrilled to share the results of our April partnership and introduce our featured organization for May!

April Wrap-Up: Supporting Our Local Heroes

Throughout the month of April, a portion of every ticket sold was dedicated to the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Mobley-Giles-Willis Lodge #7.

This local lodge does incredible work supporting our law enforcement officers and their families, fostering community relations, and ensuring that those who wear the badge have a strong support system right here in Savannah.

The Results Are In! Thanks to everyone who joined us for a ride last month, we are proud to announce a total donation of:

$1,391

These funds go directly toward the Lodge’s mission of community service and member support. We want to extend a massive "Thank You" to our April guests—you didn't just see the sights; you made a tangible difference for Savannah's finest.

Looking Ahead: May is for Preservation

As we roll into May, we are shifting our focus to the very streets and structures that make our tours possible. We are excited to announce that our May donation partner is the Historic Savannah Foundation (HSF).

The HSF has been the guardian of Savannah’s architectural soul since 1955. From saving the Davenport House to revitalizing entire neighborhoods, their work ensures that the "Museum Without Walls" we enjoy today remains intact for generations to come.

How You Can Help This Month:

  • Book a Tour: A portion of your booking fee throughout May goes directly to the HSF.

  • Spread the Word: Tell your friends and family that their Mother’s Day, Memorial Day. or graduation weekend bike tour helps preserve Savannah’s historic skyline.

  • Learn the History: Our guides often highlight specific HSF-saved sites during our rides!

Pedaling with Purpose

Whether we’re supporting the officers of Lodge #7 or the preservationists at HSF, our goal remains the same: to give back to the city we love.

Pedaling with Purpose: Supporting the Savannah Jaguars!

At Savannah Bike Tours, we believe the best way to experience our beautiful city is on two wheels—but the best way to live in it is by giving back to the community that makes Savannah so special.

We are thrilled to announce that our January 2026 Donation Partner was the Savannah Jaguars Youth Baseball team!

Small Gears, Big Impact

Thanks to everyone who joined us for a ride through the Hostess City last month, we were able to donate $327 to these young athletes.

The Savannah Jaguars aren’t just about home runs and double plays; they are about teaching local youth the value of teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. These funds will go directly toward helping the team cover costs for equipment, uniforms, and travel fees, ensuring that every kid has a chance to step up to the plate.

"Community isn't just a place where you live; it's a spirit of mutual support. We are honored to help the Jaguars keep the local baseball tradition alive and well in Savannah."

Why We Give

Every month, a portion of our tour proceeds is dedicated to a local non-profit or community group. We know that Savannah is more than just historic squares and Spanish moss—it’s the people and the organizations that keep our local culture thriving.

A huge thank you to our riders! By choosing to explore Savannah’s history with us, you’re helping us invest in Savannah’s future!

More Than a Ride: Why We’re Partnering with Tourism Cares

When you think of Savannah, you likely picture the Spanish moss draping over cobblestone streets, the quiet elegance of our 22 historic squares, and the hum of a city that has stood the test of time since 1733.

At Savannah Bike Tours, we believe the best way to experience this magic is on two wheels. It’s quiet, it’s eco-friendly, and it lets you breathe in the city. But as we pedal through our historic districts, we feel a deep responsibility to ensure that the "Hostess City of the South" remains vibrant for generations to come.

That’s why we are incredibly proud to announce that we are now an official Impact Partner of Tourism Cares.

  • Directly benefits our local community.

  • Protects our unique cultural and environmental assets.

  • Connects our guests with Savannah in a deeper, more respectful way.
