As reported, 31 bikes we use to run the Major Taylor Project in Tacoma were stolen on Saturday night, valuing approximately $25,000. We have procedures put in place for unfortunate instances like this, and we are going through the proper channels (police, insurance, etc.) with continued hope that the bikes can be recovered. Thank you for the outpouring of concern and support. While this is a huge blow, we will continue to move forward and provide MTP programming at all of our planned locations, to the best of our ability.
The Major Taylor Project is an amazing program that empowers youth from diverse communities through bicycling. In MTP after-school clubs, students establish healthy habits, build relationships, gain confidence and discover their ability to affect positive change. Every year, MTP is made possible by your support. Please consider helping support and grow the Major Taylor Project by donating at cascade.org/givemtp.
MATCH CHALLENGE UPDATE SEPTEMBER 1, 2017: If we can raise $16,000 for the Major Taylor Project by the end of this year, Cascade will receive a $17,000 more-than-matching gift for a total of $33,000 to support this amazing program.
