Ride Illinois enjoys connecting with friendly, talented and interesting people as a result of our outreach and awareness efforts. Some of those we’ve met have started a business that allows them to share their unique talents with others.
Generous small businesses support Ride Illinois by donating a portion of the proceeds of certain merchandise sales. By purchasing items from these businesses, you’re supporting Ride Illinois and a small business at the same time! Click on each logo to learn more.

If you answered yes to those questions, our Small Business Partner program may be for you!
