JUNIOR HIGH AND HIGH SCHOOL RACE MEET AND FESTIVAL DETAILS
BICYCLE RACING MEET & FESTIVAL MISSION:
“To Have Students, Their Parents, and School Administrator Be Informed and Entertained About Cycling By Doing.”
GOALS:
The young people IC3 has identified and will be targeting with this racing meet and festival are good kids and hard working students. Unfortunately, due to their ethnicity, race, economic barriers, they are “AT RISK”. Many of them are focusing their energies on drugs, gangs, and other caustic behavior early in life. IC3 is dedicated and committed towards improving the lives of these students. However, being dedicated and committed alone is not enough to execute an event such as this. Funding is required to make this tournament viable. Most of the participants that this racing meet and festival is targeting are economically disadvantaged and/or come from single family homes. Their families can’t afford the costs associated with cycling (ie: equipment, clothing, tournament fees, etc). With grant funding and other sponsorship, IC3 will be able to execute this race meet and festival and show these inner city students that there is a positive, healthy, and financially rewarding alternative through cycling.
The goals and objectives of this racing meet and festival are as follows:
1) Familiarize inner city junior high and high school students, parents, and school administrators about cycling challenges many rewards. Many inner city youths, their parents, and school administrators are simply not aware of cycling as an athletic career. They are only familiar with the career rewards of the main stream sports – football, baseball, basketball, etc.
2) Expose the students, parents, and school staffs about health benefits of cycling.
WINNING CATEGORIES:
At the end of the bicycle race and festival, a junior high will be crowned LA Fastest Cycling Champion boys and LA Fastest Cycling Champion girls. Likewise, a high school will be crowned LA Fastest Cycling Champion boys, and LA Fastest Cycling Champion girls. Also at the end of the event, we would have crowned a best bicycle hip hop sound winner, a coolest bicycle contest winner, a best futuristic bike winner, and a cycling essay contest winner. ALL THESE WINNERS WILL BE FROM JUNIOR AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM OUR INNER CITIES.
