Empowering Youth Through Bicycles
Goings On... 
 
Congrats! You made it through a very busy spring season/semester and the end of the school year is in sight! Speaking of school (once teachers get what the respect they deserve! #RedforEd) - we shift our focus a bit now to helping you finish out the semester strong. Academic Support is here for you - or come clean up your bike - or come to one of the Pilates/Corework classes we will have this month to help stay focused! 
 
DEADLINE IS NEAR! We were fortunate to receive critical funds from Tucson Conquistadores last year in relation to our clubhouse expansion. They like to "help those who help themselves" and so we NEED YOU TO SELL Raffle Tickets. This will help us raise addtional funds to keep summer activities affordable AND better our chances of getting funds from Tucson Conquistadores, again! If you have not bought your 3 tickets per rider @ 10 each, PLEASE make that payment here, now! 
 
All Final Money and Ticket Stubs are Due back by Thursday, May 10th! Want to work bike camp? Want to have cool opportunities this summer? Sell some raffle tickets, please :)
