Last Day to Use Your Alumni Discount Code - April 15th
Spokane YWCA Cycles the WAVE
As well as inspiring us with their riding, YWCA of Spokane inspires us with the compelling work they do. As the only provider of emergency shelter created specifically for domestic violence survivors in Spokane County, in 2013 they were awarded a grant from The WAVE Foundation. 
"Participating in Cycle the WAVE was a wonderful team building experience for staff from YWCA of Spokane. The majority of the cyclists who attended were advocates who work at the Safe Shelter. Their work is taxing and stressful because they are often seeing survivors at some of their most vulnerable moments. In addition, because the shelter offers 24 hour staffing, it is difficult for shelter advocates to have time together outside of work for recreation or casual interactions. Our participation in CtW provided the opportunity to have both a fun ride and a way to raise awareness and be inspired by others in the domestic violence movement. The presence of staff members helped convey to shelter advocates that their work is really critical and they are part of a larger team, both in Spokane and across the state." -YWCA staff member

More details here.
Active Ambassadors At it Again...
Cycle the WAVE city ambassador and awesome supporter, Randy Simon, has creatively put together an easy way to raise funds for Cycle the WAVE.  In 2013 Randy and her Team CHAI raised over $4,000 to support The WAVE Foundation and its efforts to BRAKE THE CYCLE of domestic violence. Team Chai and Beautiful Bike in Fremont have partnered to promote and raise funds for Cycle the WAVE through a one-hour spin class. Attend class with Team Chai here.  All cycling levels welcome. We applaud Randy's inspiration and support!

All Cycle the WAVE participants have the opportunity to form a team. Prizes will be awarded to top fundraisers.
