GivingTuesday · Dec. 1, 2026
Fuel the Falcons.
The Air Force Academy Cycling Club races road, criterium, mountain bike, and cyclocross across Colorado and at Collegiate Nationals. As a cadet club, we rely on private support for travel, race entries, and equipment. GivingTuesday counts donors, not dollars, so a $5 gift matters as much as $500. The club with the most unique donors wins a $1,000 bonus.
