Join SODA!

"Why should I pay $15 for a membership? I get everything for free."
We hear that a lot. But without the support of our Association Members we would not be able to put on the great events we do for the neighborhood. Your support of $15 helps us reach more than just your family, helps us build community, helps us support our residents, businesses, and city. Please consider joining today and help us build an even better neighborhood.

Healthy Dearborn Walk n Roll is a collaboration between the Healthy Dearborn Coalition (Beaumont Health, City of Dearborn Government, and Dearborn Public Schools) and Bike Dearborn While City of Dearborn supports our efforts, the Healthy Dearborn Walk n Roll runs independent of the City of Dearborn and its services.
