Sponsor Package

Grip Academy Sponsorship Package

Currently, there are few pathways for kids to be regularly involved in cycling and progress their skills in a community-building setting. Clipped In for Life is redefining the learn-to-ride process with Grip Academy, rewarding deliberate skill progression with colored grips inspired by the martial arts belt system. Grip Academy pushes beyond basic bike handling skills to engage kids in a lifelong activity that boosts physical and mental health, reinforces valuable life skills, and builds community.

Help build the pathway to cycling for future generations by sponsoring Grip Academy!
