Where do the Tour de Fronds proceeds go?
Tour de Fronds began in 1998 and was supported by the communities of Glendale, Umpqua Velo Bicycle Club of Roseburg, and Powers Action Team. In 2013, Powers assumed sole leadership of the event. Tour de Fronds is completely run by volunteers who willingly donate their time, energy, and service to help produce a top-notch event. After all expenses are taken from the Registration Fee, the remaining proceeds are distributed to local service organizations. These groups are dedicated to the improvement, support, and welfare of the community of Powers.
Recipients include the following Community Service groups. Funds have been and are presently used to…..
help provide funds for an addition to the present library building and a storage building
help with school based projects such as new playground equipment and needs as they arise
help purchase needed equipment to help make our community safe
help with the restoration of the VFW Post to raise and level the floor
help with needs that arise in providing food for the community as well as other needs
Purchase Bicycle helmets and stickers plus support the Bicycle Rodeo and Bike-a-thon and Safety Prog.
Thank a volunteer! Without these dedicated people, the Tour would be unable to continue and unable to bring support to these community organizations. |
