BRIGHTER BOLDER BIKIER
The difference your donation makes
We want to introduce you to Sophia. When Sophia first joined Girls in Gear three seasons ago, she was so scared of her bike that she refused to get on it for the first two sessions. Fast forward to this season and Sophia cannot be stopped! Despite Sophia's initial reluctance, she gradually warmed up to biking and became unstoppable. Her first fall taught her unexpected lessons about determination and self-discovery. Sophia's story highlights the transformative power of perseverance and self-belief. Listen to her share her story about what she learned about herself when she actually fell off her bike for the first time (hint: it wasn’t what she expected).
PROGRAM COSTS
Beyond our no-question-asked scholarship policy, we are committed to keeping our registration fee low in order to ensure that everyone has a chance to ride with us. Your support will help support the program costs not covered by each registration fee.
Volunteer coaches
Coaches are the heartbeat of our program! Your donation will help support our enthusiastic volunteers and ensure they continue to have access to the best training, curricula, program supplies, and staff support.
program Gear
We collect used bikes from the community that then go to our bike shop partners. This way, we are providing a sustainable solution to scaling our program in a way that doesn't require constantly raising money for new bikes, utilizes the generosity of community partners, and finds homes for existing bikes.
