Donation Drive

Equip Racing is kicking off a Winter Gear Donation Drive in support of the student-athletes of Them Bammas Racing (TBR) and DC Bike Academy, and we need your help!

Them Bammas Racing (TBR) and the DC Bike Academy have teamed up to foster the development of underserved youth who have an interest in using bicycles for fitness. Bicycle racing traditionally has been both a fiscally and culturally restrictive sport; and the TBR Youth Division is centered on developing student-athletes, while providing them meaningful and impactful experiences which hopefully they carry forward both on and off of the bike. We provide student-athletes access to bikes, equipment, training, coaching, socio-emotional support, and other tools and/services requisite for their progression through the sport. Our coaches consist of people from the local bicycle community who in turn expose the youth to various disciplines across the sport, including BMX, CX, MTB, road, track, and even bike polo.

DC Bike Academy is a non-profit organization and all your donations will qualify for tax deductions if you submit them here:
