Thank you for contributing to our campaign!

**SORBA is making an exciting move in 2024, and we need the support of our entire community of mountain bikers and trail users to help make this happen!**

Since 2007, SORBA has relied on IMBA to manage our membership. Due to SORBA’s growth, and some changes from IMBA, we are taking this opportunity to manage membership on our own and provide closer support to our local chapters. **This means more of your membership dollars will stay in your region, strengthening local chapters and increasing autonomy.**

From investing in a new membership system to hiring a membership management employee, this shift will cost SORBA an estimated $125,000. **In order to keep membership dues affordable and to keep chapter dollars supporting the trails, we need your help raising the necessary funds.**

We know you value the work our chapters do on a local level, and we all want to keep the chapters’ funding focused on trails. **By supporting this regional initiative, you are helping secure the future of mountain biking across the Southeast.**

Thank you for supporting the trails we all love!

Root for the Future: Better Support for Local Chapters

Since 1989, SORBA has worked to create, enhance, and preserve great mountain experiences in the Southeastern United States.

Since 1989, The Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association (SORBA) has worked to ensure that our public lands offer fun, challenging and sustainable mountain biking for all mountain bikers. As the leading mountain biking organization in the southeast, we believe everyone should have access to the social, physical, and mental benefits that mountain biking provides.

Through advocacy, education and resource sharing, SORBA and its forty-seven chapters envision a future where mountain biking is at the center of healthy, economically vibrant, and environmentally sustainable communities throughout the Southeast, with well-planned, accessible, and progressive trail systems.

SORBA relies on our generous members to carry out our mission. Our volunteers donate thousands of hours each year to advocate for trail access, raise funds for trail development, build trails, and maintain trails.

SORBA and its Chapters are 501c organizations. SORBA has chapters in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. All contributions are tax deductible.
