Bridgette Behler

Hi, my name is Bridgette Behler and I am thrilled to join the Biking for Babies team as the newest Program Operations Director! I was fortunate to host a team of missionaries during the National Ride in July of 2025, giving me a first-hand glimpse into the beautiful mission of Biking for Babies! It is an honor and joy to now be a full-time employee of Biking for Babies and I am eager to work closely alongside our generous hosts across the nation!

 

I was born and raised in a northern suburb of Chicago called Woodstock, Illinois. Prior to Biking for Babies, I graduated from Franciscan University of Steubenville in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in Social Work. It was at Franciscan where I truly found my passion for client advocacy and fostering community, both in my professional and personal life. I went on to gain experience in fundraising, sales, event planning management, and international pilgrimage travel. I am passionate about the pro-life movement and believe all human life is sacred and must be protected. 

 

Hospitality is a charism I value deeply (Romans 12: 9-20 holds a special place in my heart), so outside of the operations world you can find me hosting friends and family around my dining room table for a home cooked meal and good conversation. I have spent the past four years updating and remodeling my 1920-year-old house into a warm and welcoming space in hopes community can gather and feel they belong. I love to live an active lifestyle, read books, watercolor, spend time in adoration and scripture, play hours on end of sand volleyball, and take long walks with an iced coffee in hand and a good podcast cued. 

 

It would be a privilege to get to know you, especially if you feel the nudge to host our missionaries this year! Let’s work together to renew a culture of life, peace, and dignity across the nation. Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us! God Bless!
