The Mattapan Food and Fitness Coalition Vigorous Youth invites you to our 10th Mattapan on Wheels (MoW) Bike-a-thon: A Virtual Celebration!
For 10 years, youth of Mattapan have been bringing attention to cycling in the Mattapan community through Mattapan on Wheels, community bike rides, our basic bike repair workshops, and joining in on transportation advocacy projects that have a Mattapn focus. Starting out in 2011, this event has grown from 25 participants to 165 in 2018 and has raised over $20,000 to support our Vigorous Youth efforts when it comes to cycling in Mattapan. Many local cyclists, indidivuals, organizations, and elected officials have supported our youth to bring awareness of what cycling really means in and to Mattapan. We hope you can join the Vigorous Youth in the virtual celebration complete with giveaways and an award ceremony!
Tag our social media pages with a video or picture of you wearing your Mattapan on Wheels T-shirt from any year! It could be a video or picture of you biking or sharing why you like to bike. Don't know what to say? You could write, "I am celebrating 10 Years of Mattapan on Wheels with Mattapan Food and Fitness Coalition"
Since we won't be able to see each other, there is still a chance for you to volunteer virtually by becoming a MoW ambassador. MoW ambassadors help to spread the word about our virtual celebration + commit to actively participate by sending in videos/pictures themselves. The Vigorous Youth will share with you a social media toolkit - this way you will have all the graphics snd social media posts you need! If you are interested, indicate so when registering or email mattapanonwheels@gmail.com.
