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.
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 Cycle Bar raised an astounding $2,415! We are so grateful for Cycle Bar 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 amazing Cycle Bar 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.
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.
Shout out to Melissa G. for organizing this year's Spin It to Win It event and to Lauren, our fearless grants/fundraiser extraordinaire!
Another shout out to Roy, our Chair of the Board as well as We Ride 4 member whose teamwork brought so much generosity to this event!
CWAL has so many incredible people who volunteer their time, treasure and talent to ensure that an ever growing number of people can have access to connection, freedom and wind in their hair.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
