With the end of the year in sight, it’s so fun to reflect on the amazing journey we’ve had. We would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who supported FLYRS in making this our biggest year ever. It’s been a year filled with learning, growth, and, most importantly, the joy of pedaling outside.
Frequently, we’ve witnessed the impact that this sport holds for our youth. From conquering challenges to instilling a love for nature, our young riders are developing essential life skills like teamwork, resilience, and determination.
I’d like to share a testimonial from a FLYRS parent:
FLYRS has become a part of the community; encouraging friendships, trail stewardship, and a healthy love of bicycles! It has also been neat to observe how FLYRS has over the years nurtured many local kids into impressive, competitive athletes that the community can be proud of! The best part of that is that these older kids are now mentoring the younger kids (through FLYRS) which is so positive.
FLYRS has achieved significant milestones this year, including:
- Nearly 1000 total participants
- 140% increase in School Program participation
- $41, 348 given in financial aid (136% increase from 2022)
- 31% female participation
- 28% youth of color participation
- Purchasing 22 bikes for After School Programs
- 85 coaches
