Champions Ride for Charities
The Champions Ride for Charities on September 11, 2016 is a phenomenal opportunity to ride alongside fellow cyclists and support worthy local charities in Seminole County.
This is a ride, not a race, which means all levels of cyclists from occasional riders to seasoned cyclists are welcome to participate. Four routes are available to accommodate our champions: 10-miles, 33-miles, 62-miles, and 100-miles. The ride begins and ends on the beautiful campus of AAA National Office in Heathrow, FL.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida, Seminole County Branches
The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida, Seminole County Branches is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.
The Five Core Program Areas
- Character & Leadership Development – Empower youth to become more global citizens who support and influence their Club and community, sustain meaningful relationships with others, develop a positive self-image and good character and respect their own and others’ cultural identities.
- Education & Career Development – Enable youth to become proficient in basic educational disciplines, set goals, explore careers, prepare for employment and embrace technology to achieve success in a career.
- Health & Life Skills – Develop young people’s capacity to engage in positive behaviors that nurture their own well-being, set personal goals and live successfully as self-sufficient adults.
- The Arts – Encourage youth to develop their creativity and culture awareness through knowledge and appreciation of the visual arts, crafts, performing arts and creative writing.
- Sports, Fitness & Recreation – Programs develop fitness, positive use of leisure time, skills for stress management, appreciation for the environment and social skills.
Impact of Boys & Girls Clubs
According to a Florida TaxWatch Study released in April 2008, Boys & Girls Clubs help young members succeed academically in many ways, including:
- Overall achievement levels in terms of learning gains in reading and mathematics for Club members was greater than that of their peer reference group or the state population;
- Club members had lower rates of absenteeism at all grades levels and significantly lower rates of serious criminal offenses;
- Club members had a dropout rate lower than both peer reference groups and state student population.
