The Cycle Effect depends on generous supporters like you. Anyone who has spent significant time on a bike knows the benefits or riding. If you have been fortunate enough in your life to ride bikes, we ask that you help share your passion for riding with new cyclists. It is through cycling that we can change lives and dream.

Sponsor a Rider Today
As we kick-off our year-long program, we have only just begun to work with our participants this year. Over 100 young women ages 12-18 will spend the next few months with our coaches physically training, goal-setting for the season, learning about healthy and nutritious lifestyle choices, as well as spending time with our college counselor. In the Spring, our young women will begin mountain biking! For many this will be the first time they have ever been on a bike, for those returning this will be the year to hone in on their mountain bike skills and push their limits.
This year we plan to empower more young women than ever before. And we need YOUR help to do it!
It costs The Cycle Effect $2,200 per rider to be able to provide them with over 90 days of programming, which includes: a mountain bike, all the necessary bike gear, race entries, mentoring, fitness and nutritional training, as well as work with a college counselor. We want to be able to continue to provide our program for little to no cost to each deserving girl.
We hope that you will consider sponsoring a rider (or two!) this year, so that we will be able to ensure we can serve all young women in our community who are interested in our program.
Here are some monthly giving options:
$2,200 or $183/month = Covers the cost of a rider for a year
$1,000 or $100/month = Helps cover the costs of race entries
$500 or $41/month = Provides nutritious snacks for our riders
$200 or $17/month = Shoes and helmet for a rider
Sponsor a Rider today and you will help ensure a brighter future for a young woman in our community and help us to provide an avenue for success that may not have been available. Your support truly matters to the young woman in our community!
