Star Track is honored and thrilled to be selected as one of the first five grantees chosen to receive financial support from the newly-created Rapha Foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to building a better future for the sport of cycling by inspiring, empowering and supporting the next generation of racers. The grant will help fund the most significant expansion of our after-school program in Star Track's history, enabling even more New York City kids to discover the joys and benefits of bike racing with zero barriers to participation. And it will help support our racers as they pursue competitive excellence, allowing us to provide season-round coaching and training as well as transportation to races. More details on what this grant will mean to the program are coming — along with ways you can join in to support our ambitious goals for growing junior racing in NYC — but right now we just want to say thank you to Rapha for this amazing support to all five organizations (along with the Amy D. Foundation, Boulder Junior Cycling, the MudFund at the USA Cycling Foundation, and the National Interscholastic Cycling Association), the incredible commitment to grassroots cycling, and the determination to see cycling become the most popular sport in the world. #GoStarTrack
