Community Involvement

 
Tour of Saints has been a partner with and contributed to various community organizations and funds over the years, including the following.

Cleft and Craniofacial Center - The center treats children with cleft lip and palate, misshapen heads, torticollis and other disfiguring conditions.

The Aaron Cross Family Fund - In 1991 at age 15, Aaron Cross suffered a paralyzing injury during a bicycle race.  Since that time, Cross has gone on to set world records in archery in the Paralympic Games, just one of his many personal accomplishments.  He is now a motivational speaker for his own business, Motivation on Wheels.

"A childhood without a bicycle is
a sailboat becalmed.  A bicycle has the grace and
style to give a billowing gaiety and a transcendent
innocence to the fragile moments of childhood.
In later years, those moments may be recalled
for refuge, however evanescent,
from the fits and starts of life."
         - James E. Starrs, The Noiseless Tenor
 
 
 


"The hardest part of raising a child
is teaching them to ride bicycles.
A shaky child on a bicycle for the first time
needs both support and freedom.
The realization that this is what the child
will always need can hit hard."
 - Sloan Wilson
