Goal
Who are we?
The Rochester Mountain Bike Team is is a self-funded, non-profit, youth mountain biking organization that operates as a club sport within Rochester Community Schools. Our mission is to introduce Rochester-area students to the sport of mountain biking in a fun, safe, and relaxed atmosphere. We strive to develop students' fitness and skills and to instill in them a lifelong passion for the sport.
Why a fundraiser?
Simply put, fulfilling our mission costs money. Our team is made up entirely of volunteers, so every dollar that we collect from our fundraiser goes right back into the team. Right now, our biggest financial needs are as follows:
- Keeping costs low for students - One of our key goals has always been to make the sport of mountain biking as accessible as possible for our students. For this reason, we will always do whatever we can to avoid increasing the team fee. A successful fundraiser will allow us to grow our team without depending on an increased financial commitment from our students.
- Acquiring a team trailer - Currently, every piece of team equipment is transported by coaches in their personal vehicles. Acquiring a team trailer would greatly simplify transportation of large, essential team equipment for race days, Dirt Camp, and other important team events.
- Raising funds to maintain and grow our Bike Library - The Bike Library is a collection of team bikes that belong to the Rochester Mountain Bike Team. The bikes are available for team members to loan out for the duration of the season. Why do we do this? Mountain bikes are expensive, which creates a barrier for students who cannot afford to purchase one. We hope that by offering season-long loans of team bikes, we can increase accessibility to the sport and encourage more students to join our team.
