About Our Team

We are a 4 person Adventure Racing team based in Boulder, CO. We pledge to give back 5-10% of all sponsorship money and winnings received in 2009 to environmental nonprofits. Through these efforts, we will again be a carbon-neutral race team for 2009 with all carbon offsets sponsored by Native Energy!

Giving Back: The Conservation Alliance Legacy Fund

12.30.2008

At the beginning of the 2008 racing season, all the members of Team GoLite agreed to give back to the environment in which we race and donate 10% of our 2008 sponsorship money to a non-profit association dedicated to conserving and protecting our lands. We believe there's more to racing than just winning, and we hope to prove as much by lessening our travel impact, off-setting the CO2 emissions that we could not reduce, educating at clinics and races, and then giving back to supportive organizations.

Today, we made a donation in the name of GoLite/Team GoLite to the Conservation Alliance Legacy Fund. The Conservation Alliance is the outdoor industry's collective commitment to protecting our wild lands, and its Legacy Fund Campaign will help to ensure that it remains a force in conservation and be a permanent figure in the future. The Legacy Fund will provide a stable source of operational funding, and our contribution will help them reach their goals to create a solid foundation for the organization's future.

Please check out more about the Conservation Alliance: www.conservationalliance.com. They are working to support and provide funding for so many worthy causes, many of them probably in your own backyard.

Have a great New Year!
