While business re-opened and coronavirus declined, a group of volunteers put on a local BMX event with around 150 bicycle lovers attending.
Over $1,000 in awards were given to those attending. The volunteers held raffles and shirt sales that collected around $700 to cover costs and expenses. We also got a complete CULT bicycle donated that we will be giving to a kid in need shortly.
The Mayor of Schertz came out and spent some time with the local community to gain an understanding of what we do. We show-cased the community gardens, the up-coming built pro-line and the garbage that we’ve cleaned in the river.
1,000’s of hours of manual labor, digging, building and maintenance gets put into a place like this, so that kids and travelers can have a place to enjoy. No one get’s paid or benefits from this money wise. People are just doing what they love in support for one another, to have a good time. Everyone walked away generally safe with no major accidents or injuries.
