About USA BMX Foundation
The USA BMX Foundation was created in 2005 with a vision of creating passion for education and sport through cycling. Programs under the foundation include Race for Life, the Bob Warnicke Scholarship, BMX Stem, Read to Ride, and Track Modeling. As these programs are well established, the Foundation's core focus is creating membership growth through educational programing. The Foundation has had tremendous success over the last few years especially, together with Mongoose, with the creation of the USA BMX STEM program - one of which BMX is the only Olympic sport with a fully integrated STEM program which is now deployed in more than 300 schools.
