Vision

Studies show that strong families and marriages measurably impact communities and even economies in a significantly positive manner. The WinShape Ride for the Family aims to highlight the importance of stronger marriages and families in America and cast a vision of hope for the future. Furthermore, the Ride supports the communities that Chick-fil-A serves by hosting events along the way to raise awareness of and support for marriage and family.

Dan Cathy, President and COO of Chick-fil-A, says, “We want this Ride to encourage people to take a step back from their busy lives to celebrate the importance of family.”
