2012 BACC Bike a Thon

 

 
“A Ride to Believe In” is an annual 100-kilometer Bike-A-Thon fundraising event taking place this year on May 12th, 2012 to support the ongoing ministries of the Bay Area Christian Church.

100% of the proceeds are tax deductible. Funds will be used to support the development of Campus, Y (Youth), and Professionals throughout the Bay Area as well as ongoing operational expenses of full-time staff, interns and hiring additional young staff as needed.

The specialized ministries of the BACC have had profound impact on young people in the greater Bay Area community. Over 500 teens and middle school children are mentored by over 150 volunteer workers currently involved in the youth program. Mentorship provides character education and training rarely addressed in typical schools and youth athletic
programs.

Kids also learn the value of mentoring and serving others, such as special-needs children, through programs like E-Soccer and E-Karate. The inclusive environment (special needs kids involved with and participating right alongside typical kids, mentors and coaches) teaches and trains special qualities of heart and character, such as empathy, compassion, leadership and selfless service, just to name a few.

Peer groups and family involvement are other big parts of the youth program that contribute to its effectiveness. In addition, the overall mentoring experience for the youth provides a special flavor of community involvement that will prepare them for leadership roles in high school, college and on into their professional lives.
