Hi! This is Kaegan!

My cycling team, Boulder Junior Cycling, (BJC) is holding a Bike-a-Thon to raise money. Would you be willing to make a donation?The money we raise will help us provide scholarships and support BJC programs. Some of the kids who got scholarships have participated in nationals and gone on to get college scholarships! The deadline for donations is Nov. 20th. My goal is to complete as many laps as possible on our Bike-a-Thon course within a set amount of time (20-30 minutes). I hope to do 3 laps. MAybe 4. It depends on how big the course is. Flat donations are also awesome! (And b/c I just found out I am doing my laps tonight - Nov. 2nd, maybe that might be better.)

I enjoy the sport of cyclocross because of the effort it takes to do challenging things and excitment of being part of a group. The races are really fun too.

It would help a lot if you could donate! I have a donor who is willing to match my donations up to $100!!!! Make your money count!

Thanks for supporting BJC!

UPDATE: Kaegan rode 6 laps and was excited he was not last! Last year, the bike-a-thon was one team event. This yearr they divided the groups riding over 2 weeks to keep the group small. We found out his ride date the morning of his ride! No spectators were allowed, but I sat in my car across the road and watched as they rode in the dark, laughing and having a blast!

Boulder Junior Cycling is excited to announce our 4th annual Bike-a-Thon fundraiser! This is a month-long campaign where kids raise money to support their team while testing their skills and endurance on a fun and challenging course.

Our fundraising goal this year is $15,000. To reach this goal, BJC athletes are encouraged to collect donations from their community during the month of October.

At the end of October, we’ll hold the Bike-a-Thon event, where riders will complete as many laps as possible on our custom-built course at Robson’s Ranch within a set amount of time. The event will be spread over several evenings to avoid a large gathering. The laps are adjusted for each age group.

Community organizations like BJC play an important role in shaping our youth, teaching life lessons, and improving health. Fundraising campaigns are an essential part of BJC’s work.

The money we raise will help us:

– Award additional scholarships to low-income families

– Provide a higher level of training to further develop our coaching staff

– Expand and diversify our award-winning cycling curriculum

Thank you for helping us get more kids on bikes!

Warmly,

Pete Webber, Executive Director
