One of the highlights of the evening was the presentation of 2 new trishaws made possible by the incredibly generous Hamilton Charitable Fund's donation of $30,000. The addition to our fleet is much needed to help spell off the older rigs and ensure we can continue to meet the increased demand for wind in the hair experiences! We are so very thankful for this incredible gift.
Fantastic Mullen High School Students Helped Make Event A Success!
A wonderful team of Mullen students pitched in with set up, greeting and seating attendees, and take down long after guests had departed. We are grateful for our partnership with Mullen and these wonderful young people's effort to make the event a success.
The CWAL Family Rocks!
CWAL's volunteers give of their time, treasure and talent to help bring joy and connection to those unable to get out on a bike themselves. From the amazing grant writing, maintenance, website and social media, filling boxes, scheduling, support staff, birthday celebrations, graphic designing, to the event volunteers, pilots and all that are part of the CWAL family that contribute to our success, CWAL consists of the most amazing people and 2025 will be an amazing year as a result!
CWAL Receives Two Generous Grants
$9,000 Grant from Littleton Arts & Culture Board
CWAL received a very generous grant of $9,000 from the Littleton Arts & Culture Board this winter. We plan to utilize these funds to develop more programs allowing access to cultural and art-related events for those unable to access such experiences on their own. CWAL is excited to work with Chair JD McCrumb and the Littleton Arts & Culture Board to make this vision a reality and are so thankful for this grant.
$2,000 Grant from National Sertoma Organization
Sertoma of DTC member Dave Oppenhiem applied for this national grant on behalf of CWAL after his sister who isn't able to get outside on her own, experienced a trishaw ride last summer. She was so grateful for the freeing feeling of wind in her hair, connection to nature and the positive difference this made in her life. Believing in CWAL's mission and seeing firsthand the impact a trishaw ride can make, Dave applied and CWAL was awarded this generous $2,000 unrestricted grant! This generous funding will allow us to continue providing wind in the hair experiences as we look to grow our offerings. Thank you, Sertoma!

Friendly competition between CWAL volunteers and our awesome partners We Ride 4 at the Southwest Plaza CycleBar on February 1, 2025 raised an astounding $2,415 ! We are so grateful for CycleBar hosting the CycleGives event, donating all the proceeds to CWAL and for the heart-pumping, sweat inducing fun class!! CWAL is also so very thankful for our very generous partner We Ride 4, who raised $750 through the class participation for CWAL and a $500 match for their own organization!! And many thanks to all the CWAL volunteers, friends and family who provided both pedal power and generous donations to the tune of $1,165!

The Competition Was Tough!
The amazing CycleBar instructor Kaitlyn led the CWAL and We Ride 4 class participants through a fun, sweat-laden 45-minute series of sprints, hills and head-to-head competition. Last year, We Ride 4 claimed victory, but this year, CWAL was back for revenge and won 4 of the 5 tightly contested challenges. We Ride 4 finished strong, barely besting CWAL in the final 'all or nothing' race! Regardless of the numbers, both teams were winners, as the event was about amazing people coming together for a great cause.
Draffle!
The Competition Was Tough!
MC's Brooklyn Pizza and Treats Galore
We Ride 4 held a draffle (raffle and drawing all in one) for several amazing give aways, that ranged from Yeti mugs to race entries and a We Ride 4 membership. Lots of riders walked away with serious loot, thanks to We Ride 4's generosity. CWAL also gave away a $50 gift card to MC's Brooklyn Pizza, the wonderful provider of the post-workout pizza!

What better way to refuel after a grueling CycleBar session than to nosh on some tasty za from MC's Brooklyn Pizza? CWAL is so thankful for MC's Brooklyn Pizza, who donated several pizzas of all different varieties to ensure no one went hungry following the class. Riders also enjoyed several of Barb's (in)famous homemade treats.
