Share the LOVE with VeloYouth - Virtual Cocktail Class
Your gift helps VeloYouth continue its mission to serve at-risk kids by infusing goal-setting, cycling, and daily achievement. In 2020, Board members contributed $15,000; they plan to match your $15,000 again this year.
San Diego VeloYouth (SDVY) offers at-risk and disadvantaged teens 18 hours of coaching in cycling at the track in Balboa Park's San Diego Velodrome. The athletes give back (through community service), become mentors to their peers, and "pay it forward" as steps towards earning their own bike. Coaching, on and off the bike, focuses on the motto "STARS Create Possibilities" with emphasis on Self-Respect, Teamwork, Achievement, Responsibility, and Success. SDVY promotes personal development, social connections, healthy competition, and education. At the completion of the program, our athletes will have set and achieved goals, increased self-confidence, made new friends, and learned teamwork.

About Our Evening
Rebecca Pinnell, our cocktail educator, is a cocktail evangelist and a regular educator at The Battery. Recently, she was the bar manager at San Francisco’s Bon Voyage!, and previously worked in New York at Maialino, Barbuto and Dante. For our virtual cocktail night, Rebecca will be guiding you how to make delicious and cocktails and mocktails at home! We will make these cocktails at the same time together, just virtually. The items on the ingredient and tool lists are intentionally flexible and will be explained throughout the class. In between cocktails, we will have recent graduates share stories of their time with VeloYouth. Board members will also be present, sharing their love for VeloYouth. *If you would prefer no alcohol, you will have the opportunity to make a special mocktail.*
