What Is Ride For Dime? 

Ride For Dime Inc, a 501 (c) 3, charitable organization, honours the lives of guitar hero and friend, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, Jeff Thompson, Nathan Bray, and Erin Halk. Ride for Dime has proudly given back to charities that were of interest to Darrell during his life as well as charities he would have been proud to be a part of, like Little Kids Rock. In 2010, we formed and began funding our own “Ride for Dime Scholarship Fund.”

Originally formed in Arlington, Texas, in 2005 by Darrell’s friends and family, the organization has now grown to having six nationwide chapters. Each chapter will hold it’s own event, and all proceeds go directly to our two chosen charities, Little Kids Rock, and The RFD Scholarship Fund. Our current chapters include: Texas, Philadelphia, Chicago, Florida, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. We have many inquiries for more states and cities, as well as international interest. We are certain this organization will continue to grow and prosper, at a rapid rate.

“All your information and everything you need to know about is at Ride for Dime dot Org, not dot Com, dot Org, and check it out and come on out and celebrate my brother’s life. He was a beautiful man and great person and Ride for Dime has their heart in the right place” – Vinnie Paul Abbott 

I am very honored & very proud to be working with such a great heart felt group of people here at the Ride for Dime! They are the most selfless, respectful crew of guys I've had the privilege to work with when it comes to the remembrance of "Dimebag" Darrell! I am very excited to be a part of this organization & I hope with all of everyone's continued support we can make these events continue to grow across the nation! Bless you for all your efforts in keeping Dime's memory alive & I hope all of our events can put a smile on your face knowing that you supported some great causes; most of all showed your love for a very kind man... Mr. Dimebag Darrell! Thank you! To the Pink Beard in the sky! Cheerz! -Rita Haney

“Every Child Deserves Music Education”
“Playing music is more than just ‘fun’ for kids. It is transformational and vital. Yet budget cuts have forced many school music programs to close. These cuts have had a disproportionate impact on schools serving low-income communities. We partner with school districts and teachers across the country to restore and revitalize their music programs by providing their kids with free music classes and free musical instruments. At Little Kids Rock, we believe that every kid has the right to rock!”

did you know…

 - More than 66,000 kids are currently enrolled in a Little Kids Rock program.
 - Kids who play a musical instrument are 52% more likely to go on to college.
 - Little Kids Rock is one of the leading instrument-providing charities in the U.S.

We offer the only national, rock and pop-based music program in the U.S public school system. Little Kids Rock (www.littlekidsrock.org)
