Revolution | Bay Area Outreach and Recreation Program (BORP) 14/07/2015

Message from our member, Kristi,

"Join the Revolution: I am looking volunteers for a bike ride on Sept 26th, 2015 that benefits adaptive sports. I need people to drive SAG, help mark routes, distribute gear, and work at rest stops.

It is hands down one of the best rides and the money raised has a direct impact on young people with disabilities. We already know that kids who are involved with sports do better in school. The same is true for kids with disabilities who are twice as likely to be depressed, commit su***de, and use alcohol or drugs than their able bodied peers. Nationwide statistics show that 28% of disabled Americans drop out of high school; just over 20% of disabled Americans get a college degree; 73% of disabled Americans are unemployed.

In stark contrast, our young athletes succeed in life: over 95% have graduated from high school in the past ten years; over 80% either have university degrees, or are in college now; over 80% are employed.

Volunteer and afterward you get to eat, drink and be merry with the riders at Trentadue winery in Geyserville. Share, Repost and Volunteer!"
