Organizations Filed Purposes: INSPIRE PEOPLE FROM ALL CORNERS OF OUR COMMUNITY TO LIVE ACTIVELY

THE SPORTS BACKERS WORKED IN THE PAST YEAR TO INSPIRE PEOPLE TO LIVE ACTIVELY IN ALL CORNERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. WE ACCOMPLISH THIS MISSION BY ADVOCATING FOR SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE; SUPPORTING AN NETWORK OF ACTIVE LIVING PARTNERS; PROVIDING GROUP FITNESS ACTIVITIES AND CREATING DIVERSE EVENT OPPORTUNITIES. WE PLACE AN EMPHASIS ON PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. OUR INNOVATIVE CULTURE FUELS THE GROWTH IN OUR IMPACT ACROSS THE COMMUNITY.

IN THE PAST YEAR, WE CREATED NEW EVENTS TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY AND CAMARADERIE DURING ISOLATING TIMES. THOUGH SEVERELY IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC, OUR EVENTS CONTINUED TO PROVIDE ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO THE REGION. WE WORKED WITH THE COMMUNITY AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO INCREASE SIDEWALKS, CROSSWALKS, AND MULTI-USE TRAILS THROUGHOUT THE REGION. WE HAD GREATLY INCREASED FREE FITNESS CLASSES OFFERED IN UNDERSERVED AREAS TO 60 EVERY WEEK THROUGH OUR FITNESS WARRIORS PROGRAM PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC. ONCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN, WE PIVOTED TO VIRTUAL CLASSES AND LAUNCHED OUTDOOR CLASSES FOLLOWING CDC GUIDELINES IN JUNE 2020. DURING THE 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR, WE SUPPORTED 80 RUNNING CLUBS PRIMARILY IN LOW-INCOME SCHOOLS ACROSS THE REGION THAT IMPACT NEARLY 12,000 KIDS.

DURING THE PANDEMIC, WE ADJUSTED TO OFFERING ONLINE VIDEOS AND VIRTUAL FITNESS CLASSES. THE SPORTS BACKERS PROVIDE RESIDENTS OF GREATER RICHMOND WITH ACCESS TO SAFE AND AFFORDABLE ACTIVE LIVING OPPORTUNITIES. AS A RESULT, OUR REGION IS A HEALTHIER AND MORE VIBRANT PLACE TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY.
