A Zoic-sponsored second annual spring fundraiser attracted approximately 100 riders, including 10 kids from the Outdoor Outreach program - the organization which benefited from US$1,600 raised at the ride and raffle at Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve in California.
The non-profit Outdoor Outreach, provides opportunities for at-risk and underprivileged youth to gain confidence and self-esteem through participation in outdoor activities. Their programs support underserved youth in San Diego County who are at risk for school dropout, substance abuse, violence and unintended pregnancy. Since its founding in 2001, Outdoor Outreach has taken more than 3,500 youth on over 1,000 outings, including rock climbing, snowboarding, surfing, snorkelling, mountain biking and backpacking.
