Community Engagement:
Our racers have committed to supporting their local community by volunteering for a wide range of activities - from helping put on a stage race, volunteering in registration, set up, clean up and everything in between to make the annual Wildflower Century a yearly success, to riding along with an entire class of elementary school children teaching them about cycling safety. Collectively, we log hundreds of hours of community service in Chico each year! We specifically target donations to these organizations below.
Torres Shelter: Providing shelter and support services since 1998. The Chico Community Shelter Partnership is a thriving, growing, effective and always improving non-profit organization dedicated to assisting a wide variety of people in their efforts to achieve self-sufficiency and a more stable lifestyle. We operate the Torres Community Shelter and for over 13 years, we’ve provided shelter and related social services to help people experiencing homelessness in our community.
Butte County Junior Cycling: The Butte County Junior Cycling program exists to provide youth with the opportunity to enjoy the sport of cycling through a road bike loan program. Junior cyclists are encouraged to safely ride the roads and cycling events in Butte County and beyond. We believe that cycling is a lifelong activity that is beneficial to the mind, body and soul.
Perinatal Rescue Network: We believe lowering newborn and maternal mortality is best done by using resource appropriate, specific education, and consistent networking. It is also our deepest desire to create more sustainable opportunities for access to newborn resuscitation equipment and education in rural and remote areas. Because of this, we create global support for local champions who are solving perinatal deaths with education, equipment, funding and networking. Our training programs consist of Helping Babies Breathe and Helping Mothers Survive to better fulfill our mission! Using these proven strategies, we will help the world reach Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5: Reducing Child Mortality and Improving Maternal Health!
