The 6th annual CYCLE 4 LA’s BEST fundraising event took place over the weekend at Esperanza Elementary on April 26th, 2015. The Sunday fundraiser, sponsored by Wendy’s of LA, was a HUGE success, as we surpassed our goal of $100,000 thanks to the tireless efforts of more than 100 dedicated LA’s BEST supporters who cycled to raise money for the organization.LA’s Best Cycle Event

Led by the Cycle Committee and our BEST Friends Board, CYCLE 4 LA’s BEST teams pedaled for 50 minutes in 90-degree heat as funds from their supporters continued to roll in throughout the day, and by Monday, the event raised over $109,000 for LA’s BEST After School Program!

When teams weren’t pedaling, the participants enjoyed a reception sponsored by a variety of companies, including BUICED, Just Chill, Clif Bar, Simply Salad, Invigorade, WTRMLN WTR, Le Bon Garcon, and Aquahydrate. LA’s BEST students also were in attendance and joined in the fun, cheering on the cyclists and participating in fun physical activities led by BEST Fit, the nutrition and physical fitness program of LA’s BEST.

In between cycling, participants, supporters and kids enjoyed music from our very own DJ AmRo and even had the chance to strike a pose at the step and repeat!
