Mission:
Broom Wagon Cycling Club is a 501c3 non-profit that encourages people abstaining from alcohol and substance abuse to develop healthy lifestyles through physical activity. By providing knowledge, encouragement, organized activities, and access to equipment, Broom Wagon helps people set goals, build confidence, and find joy in an active lifestyle—ultimately giving them tools for living without drugs and alcohol.
Vision:
Broom Wagon strives to build a resilient, healthy, and contented community of people abstaining from alcohol and substance abuse. Through the discipline and demands of regular physical activity, Broom Wagon seeks to foster new relationships, lessen the stigma of sobriety, and challenge people to push themselves physically, emotionally, and intellectually.
Broom Wagon is a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to building a positive athletic community and getting people in recovery moving.
Broom Wagon is an inclusive community of athletes united by the value we place on the mental and physical benefits of physical activity as a lifestyle. We come from all walks of life to enjoy healthy hobbies and grow together as athletes and as people.
Some of us abstain entirely from all mind altering substances. Others of us merely enjoy sober activities or want to support our sober friends. All of us have seen what addiction and substance abuse can do to our family members, friends, and colleagues. And all of us value community events that are free from drugs and alcohol.
Broom Wagon hosts bike rides, excursions, events, fundraisers, and community betterment projects to build an athletic community with positive impacts on both its members and on the greater society.
Community:
Countless studies praise the physical and mental benefits of routine exercise for people at all stages of life. Broom Wagon additionally recognizes the vital role athletic endeavors can play for many as an alternative to drugs and alcohol, whether just getting sober, or maintaining a sober lifestyle.
Unfortunately however, athletic activities can be really expensive. Coming up with the thousands of dollars needed to purchase a bike, helmet, shoes, and kit, or to register and train for an organized race, can be a serious barrier to starting cycling or running for many. This can be particularly true for people newly recovering from drug or alcohol abuse.
To overcome the financial hurdles to athletic pursuits, Broom Wagon works to raise money and partner with corporate sponsors to get athletic gear and race registrations to people recovering from substance and alcohol abuse. Broom Wagon is also developing scholarships and lending programs to pair people committed to their recovery with the equipment they need to start and maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.
