Bicycle Friendly Communities
BFC is an influential initiative of the League of American Bicyclists that provides guidance, advice, and resources to communities and states to improve their bike infrastructure and provide a positive environment for cyclists. Trek and US Trek dealers have teamed up to donate $1 each of every Trek helmet sold to support BFC. By the end of 2010, this will amount to well over $1 million in funding.
IMBA
The International Mountain Bicycling Association creates, enhances, and preserves great trail experiences for mountain bikers worldwide. $10 from the sale of every Trek full-suspension mountain bike goes to support their efforts, to ensure that we all have a place to ride for generations to come.
Safe Routes to School
This international movement strives to create safe, convenient, and fun opportunities for children to bicycle and walk to school. Trek donated $50,000 to help the Madison Metropolitan School District implement a district-wide Safe Routes plan.
Dream Bikes
Dream Bikes is a used-bicycle resale program that provides access to affordable, quality bikes to those in need while providing challenged youth with valuable work experience. Trek plays an integral role in the establishment and operation of all Dream Bikes locations.
The Lance Armstrong Foundation
LAF inspires and empowers people affected by cancer. Trek supports LAF through numerous bike-related fundraising efforts, like the LiveSTRONG Challenge and the Stages auction.
